A recent thread in the RV-4 forum asked for pictures of how folks close out the huge opening in the floor below the stick to keep "things" from dropping in and blocking the controls. This is something that is up to the builder to think about in both the -4 and the -8, and I have seen most -8 builders come up with some sort of panel and boot. I stole my idea from a builder's web site long ago, and adapted it a little to suit my application. I thought maybe we should try and get a variety of pictures here in one place to share our various ideas with each other. If nothing else, it will let us all see the really cool solutions and go "Doh! Why didn't I think of doing it that way!"
Here's mine - simple, made from some scrap sheet, and just velcroed to the floor (because I thought about it too late, and already had the rear floor riveted down....):
How many more solutions can we collect?
