Hi All,
I've got my aft fuselage clecoed to my front QB fuselage along with the adjacent bulkheads and now thinking about how to attack all the rivets. It's apparent that some sort of temporary flooring over the baggage floor and seat pan ribs will be needed so I can get into the fuselage for riveting. I'm a big guy at 6' 4", 260 lbs. The last thing I want to do is damage those individual and fairly flimsy floor ribs. I was thinking that 3/8" plywood cut to fit the floor would be rigid enough to distribute my weight adequately over all the floor rib flanges. Any feedback from those that have already crossed this bridge would be appreciated, particularly if you're on the bigger side.
Thanks for your time and advice.
Cheers,
Scott
