Brief Description:  Floor panel & Control Stick Adel Clamp

I was working on the tailcone area wiring some time back and had a towel over the floor and was kneeling while working on the wires. Well, a good thing to remember about the floorboards is that there are stiffiners that get riveted into the floors after they are installed......that sould give you a hint that without the floors being installed permanently meaning neither are the stiffiners that the panel is in a weakened state so DON'T put excess pressure on the flooring in that area. Well by kneeling I did and got a "kneebend" on the right side of the panel.

Tonight I tackled working the dent out of the panel using various tools along with a little sorcery and incantations!!! This is more art than science.....but in the end the dent has been resolved to an acceptable level....but took most of this session.

I then shifted to the control stick which I marked the temporary location of the sticky wire hold down and removed it to drill a hole in order to install an adel clamp that will hold the PIC control stick wiring in place.
