Vlad,
I cut out a piece of Aluminum and patched it. I also used "proseal" to insure no water would infiltrate it.
If memory serves me right the Flap fairing covers it up.

-8 step hole cover
Here is how I plugged mine. There has been some threads suggesting that the hole be left open since the flap fairing covers it. To me that leaves a place for air intrusion. Notice the blue mark where I expected the fairing to land. Stay outside of that line.

There will be no test.
It has been a few years now from when I saw this on a test, but. The answer should be in "AC-41.13". If you go buy it, you will be covered.

That is exactly what I did too...

Put a landing light in there Vlad........ that way you can see where you are going when you're doing a ground loop at night!
