I've seen it done out in the EAA tents at Sun N' Fun, but have never done it myself. QUESTION: So, what is the easiest way for a rube like me to attach some padeyes like these to the floor of the baggage compartment? I know that your answer is blind rivets, but I have never drilled for or pulled a rivet. Is it physically possible for a 60+ year old guy to access the underside of the floor of the baggage compartment from the inspection hole in the belly 601 for the purpose of getting locknuts onto the padeye screws? I believe your answer will be.. "Find an EAA member who knows how to pull a rivet." But, can I get at the floor of the baggage compartment all the way to the back of the seats from the inspection hole? Hmmm.. I do have an agile 6 year old grandson.. but the airplane is full of Corrosion-X. Might make his mom testy and I already get him (and me) into enough trouble.

To install you can get some simple pull rivets from the hardware store and an hand puller that is probably right beside it on the rack. I'm assuming you bought an already completed plane. If this isn't the case and and you just haven't gotten started building yet you will know how to do it 8 ways to Sunday before you are to that point. -------- W.R.

From: "Gig Giacona" Just for the record if the message was posted via e-mail, which I think his was, there is no way to edit it and add the DO NOT ARCHIVE command. Also, for those of us that post via the web forum, I'm not even sure that an edit that adds the command even does anything. -------- W.R.

I vote for 1 list also. That said which list? If we can decide which list to post to we can simply make one last post to the other saying something like "I'm outta this list please tune into xxx list". The people that didn't switch will soon figure out it is dead. And won't it be fun to flame the ones that didn't listen....
