Hi guys. I know this is probably simple, and I am just missing something, but here goes....
The manual says to drill the aft floorboards to the floor, but not rivet them down until later in fuselage construction. I am making the forward floorboard with foot wells, and it will be removable. The ones aft of that will be riveted in. I made the right aft floorboard per plans, and the left one just like (but opposite) the right one, instead of the large panel that the print calls for. In other words, my center aft panel will be a separate piece, instead of part of the left panel. I am not putting antennas or anything else under the aft outboard ones, so I can't see a reason to not rivet them in now. The only thing I can think of is the holes for the flap rods. Is there anything else?
What Say Ye?
