Good point. I should have mentioned that after this photo was taken, I bonded in the standard Legacy baggage tunnel. The tunnel totally isolates the elevator control tube from the baggage area. In fact, I can't imagine anyone not installing the tunnel, because of the obvious hazard from fouling by luggage, etc., but just in case, I want to clarify. Here's a more finished photo.  It's the baggage area, facing aft towards the aft baggage bulkhead, after a fresh coat of Zolatone paint.  The thing on the floor is the stock baggage tunnel, which contains the elevator control tube and half of the rudder cables.

 

Best,

Dennis
