Removing plastic from the Cabin Area and preparing for nutplates - 3 hours

 I need to do some priming touchup's on the cabin area floor. As well I also primed the back of the sidesteps.

I am also ready to pull up the plastic on the floor., so I did that as well. Everything gets a good vacuum as I have primer pieces everywhere. 

At the suggestion of another builder, the recommendation was to install nutplates in the centre control rod tunnel to secure future wiring. I know some folks use zip tie mounts prosealed to the side of the rib, but I much prefer the use of adel clamps where possible. After reading up on AC43.13 with respect to wiring, supporting wiring and maintaining distances from control rods. I feel confident in proceeding with installing nutplates for this area. I ended up drilling the nut plates centred in the rib vertically and two of them for each rib. I needed to adjust the spacing for the forward left rib to account for the aileron trim servo.
