Looking for what others have done to install baggage tie-downs in their 14s to give me some ideas.
I need baggage area tie-downs for my (about 20 lb) tool bag to keep it from flying around during acro. Lots of stuff on the forum about tie-down rings, etc. but I'm looking for how to anchor the tie-downs to the baggage floor in a sturdy way. It's too hard to reach in from the center tunnel to install nuts or backing plates, and I regret not installing access panels in the floor during the build.
Right now, I'm thinking of installing a couple of access panels made from the step attachment covers supplied in the kit. That would let me get in and bolt a couple of tie-down anchors to the floor rib flanges as well as allow for inspection of the structure during annuals.
