Frank,

I like it, I'll keep this in mind when I get to that step on my fuse.  It
might need a skin stiffener to transfer the load at the access door, but
that can be worked into the design.  Still working on the wing tip storage
design, fiberglass....Ugh!

Thanks,

Dan S.

And how about this idea....

Even with an IFR stack my space between the sub panel and firwall will
be almost completly empty. A lot of builders have cut access holes in
the top skin either side of the central stiffner. Looks to me like a lot
of space where a small locker could be fabricated. In the right place
from a W&B perspective too.

Sounds whacky but it looks doable and when your camping you always need
a little more space for hiking boots, food items, kitchen sink etc.

Don't forget that the wiring for all the avionics takes up space and the 
plumbing for your instruments. I wouldn't recommend it, it'll make 
things too tight to work up under there and if you have to fix or add 
something in the future you'll be learning how to cuss.

Cheers
