Brief Description:  Top aft skin; baggage floor

Fit the aft top skin and match drilled the skin and ribs. Prepped and painted the top gusset plate. Removed the (tempoaraily installed) baggage floors and final drilled and rivetted them. Installed the nutplates. Installed the second set of snap bushings in the tunnel bulkheads. Spent some time contemplating the location of the strobe pack; I decided on the starboard side floor right behind the baggage area. Fabricated a mount attached to the bulkhead and the fuselage floor; it came out great except I forgot to be gentle with the bends, and I noticed one corner cracked. I ordered some 2024-T0 that I will use to refabricate the mount. I am concerned that I will need additional pathways between the mid- and aft-fuselage; I decided I didn't need it when I rivetted the baggage floor down. I may take up the front of the floor and install a conduit under the floor for future use.
