Installed remaining panels in cockpit per Sect 42. Added 5 nylon straps in baggage area for future (tbd...) cargo net. Made from 1" nylon strap, cut to 6" lengths using "hot knife" so ends are "sealed". Doubled over, and pushed hot nail through for mounting holes. Included rubber washers to help spread the load. Three are screwed into existing nutplates at rear panel, and at Flap Cover. Two were riveted in toward front outboard areas. I saw similar approach in VAF postings. Plan to purchase a rectangular cargo net, with hooks in corners. My 5th in center front may not be needed, but easier to add now than once in hangar.
 |
| 3 of 5 loops created for holding Cargo Net ( 2 on left were riveted ) |
 |
| 2 at rear. Can move lower or higher along screw positions. (Not installing all screws now in panels, since removing for Airworthiness Inspection soon) |
 |
| Showing 2 of 3 along front. Center one can be raised...tbd. Outer 2 needed to be riveted, since no nutplates near corners. |
 |
| 1st time Panels actually screwed into place |
