Baggage Compartment work - 3 hours

 I need to do a bit of work in the baggage compartment. Since I am in Canada, I have to make all of my panels removable to aid in inspection. Technically the two aft baggage compartment side panels still allow a view of all rivets with an inspection mirror. But I decided to make it all removable. All of the floor  (with the exception of F-705) with me flush screws. Everything else will be regular screws.

Once all of the side panels were installed. I began opening up all the holes to #19.  

Next I need to work on my new baggage floor skin. The other one I had developed a crack when dimpling for the screws so I decided to replace it. Best method I have found for opening holes is to use MDF. Keeps the holes centred. I opened nearly all the holes to #19.

I am now finished will everything I need to do with the assembly together. Its now time to disassemble everything. And so it begins...
