We've decided to add a baggage door to the aft baggage area. After much thought and experiments in accessing the most rearward baggage area, we came to the conclusion that getting to that area without a side access door would be most difficult. We did a search of the WINGSFORUM and FACEBOOK groups to get ideas on how others have implemented the door. There are so many different implementations and we decided to take the ideas we like and do our own thing.
We will be adding 3 aluminum tubes, two square tubes and one round. The square tubing will be used to form the outer side opening. The top longeron and side stringer will form the top and bottom side opening. The round tubing will form the bottom inner edge of the opening and along with two of the side stringer standoffs it will neatly close off the gap between the baggage area and the outer fabric skin.
The round tubing was cut and ground/filed to shape. The two square tubing pieces are extremely irregular and is taking quite a long time to get into shape. We had to restart the two pieces due to an issue getting them to nicely align with fabric. More works still need to be done getting them to the correct shape/length. Hours: 5
