Topic: Ladder to Fly bridge

The ladder to the flybridge really uses up a lot of this valuable space. I had the idea to make the ladder removable and open up the space a bit. I expected the ladder to supply some vertical support to the cabin top but I figured that the non-flybridge versions were fine without a center support. I was quite surprised when the cabin top dropped about 3/4 inch when the ladder was removed. Is this something I should be concerned about or is that amount of drop insignificant and possibly just due to old age or ? Naturally the ladder will be put back in place whenever there is occasion to be on the flybridge. Back to Top
