Dick, Are you talking about the piet or the GN?I think DJ's building the GN. It does have plywood floor from rear seat totail-post (although I'm not really sure it's necessary).All I did with mine was lay the plywood down and glue it to the longeronsand cross members. This left a small (about 1/8 in.) gap between the plyand the diagonal - this is because of the curved profile of the fuselagebottom. I simply took some plywood, cut strips the width of the diagonals,tapered the thickness down on each end with a belt sander to approximate thedecreasing gap width on each end and glued that bad-boy in there. All itreally did was act as a filler between the ply and diagonal.Just my 1/50th of a buck.Bert----- Original Message -----
