Hi Mike,
The baggage bay floor sits 3/4'' [19mm] above the tailplane pushrod, at the
same
angle, put a piece of scrap timber that thick on top of the pushrod, and trim
the outer edge of the floor, and the rear bulkhead so there is no pressure
on to the inside of the fuselage.
Then bond in with Redux under the overlapping flange to the lower bulkhead, and
2 ply Bid from the panel to the fuselage, [ both sides of the upper ''D'' shape
bulkhead.]
Cheers,
Nev.

Good Day All,
I am putting in the baggage bay and have a couple of quick questions for
those that have gone before.
1) Is the baggage bay supposed to be jammed into the bottom of the canoe? Or
is it supposed to have the edges sanded down until it just fits the proper
place in the canoe? As it is, it seems to push the sides out a little too much
for my senses.
2) Is the floor of the baggage bay supposed to be level with the door sill or
tilted up in the back so it is level with the bottom skin?
Thanks in advance for the knowledge that will calm the nerves.
