Step 17: Fit the Floorboards
As indicated by the shaded areas in Figure 20, the floorboards cover the area
between the rudder control weldments and the seat pans in a fore-and-aft direction,
and between the fuselage sidewall and the forward control cable cover in a lateral
direction. They are held in place at twelve attach tabs welded to the cage; the
locations of these tabs are shown in the figure.
Cut the floorboards out of 1/4" marine-grade plywood, available at any building
supply store. You can also use lightweight composite panels for this if you have a
local source for them, but this is definitely more expensive. Because of small but
significant variations in the Sportsman cages, we are unable to provide templates for
the floorboards, so make a pair out of cardboard for your own cage. Note that each
floorboard must be relieved in three locations: at its forward end (Point A in Figure
20) to fit around the rudder control weldments; along its outboard edge (Point B) to
accommodate one of the small, vertical tubes in the truss at the lower edge of the
cage sidewall; and at its aft, outboard corner (Point C) to fit around the taildragger
gear socket. Also note that the Point A cutouts are not the same left and right.
Finally, take special care to get a tight fit on the inboard edges of both floorboards.
This is where they contact the sides of the forward control cable cover, and to
prevent the cover from rattling around, the floorboards should fit snugly.
