Ken,I'm just finishing up some varnishing on my center section now. I gluedfloor to spars and compression struts, as per plans. Your idea might be OK,but I don't see how you are going to attach to the spars, unless you use afiller piece. That might be OK, too. Other than that, I don't see a problem(or an advantage). Yes, there is a gap between the floor and the rib braces,but all covers up with fabric.Gary BootheCool, Ca.PietenpolWW Corvair Conversion, mountedTail done, Fuselage on gear(15 ribs down.) _____

I'm sure others have done differently, but I took this to mean that, whenthe compression strut is even with the bottom of the spar, there is an area,only in the middle, that needs to be matched to the rib curve.Gary BootheCool, Ca.PietenpolWW Corvair Conversion, mountedTail done, Fuselage on gear(15 ribs down.) _____
