                        Howdy gang! here is the finished cargo floor...no weathering yet.



                        How is the ramp on the Ch46 connected to the main body?

                        Is it tight, a gap, seperate points or hinged?

                        Thanks!

                        Laugh [(-D]

                        Wait till I get to hydrualic lines and the fuse panel....heheheheh Tongue [:P]Wink [;)]

                        The center floor covering is untreated 600 grit sand paper...I plan to cover all the sections on the ramp with it.

                        Funny how the 'ramp' layout is almost 100% correct but the cargo floor was just kinda well.....

                        The Kit shows three plastic stub/contact points on the ramp to body....is that even close?

                        I can't remember exactly how the ramp attached to the fuselage, but I know that when the ramp was up and everything back aft was buttoned up, it was a tight fit with no daylight coming through.

                        This isn't the greatest pic but it may help:

                        The rear ramp is hinged at the floor level so there's no gap going from the ramp to the cabin floor. There is a panel on the belly of the fuselage just ahead of the rear ramp that is about nine inches wide and 88 inches across that is hinged at its forward edge and actuated by the ramp movement to move out of the way of the bottom edge of forward end of the ramp. You can just barely see one edge of the interior of it on the left side of the second picture above. The forward edge of the panel is straight and the aft edge is slightly curved.

                        The picture also shows how the upper aft end of the enclosure folds down on the sides and then pivots upward.
