Hi everyone,
I wanted to know if anyone out there has a modified/larger baggage area in their Kitfox IV. If so, can you please send detailed pictures of the baggage area to the list or directly to me. In addition to detailed pictures can you shed any light on your experiences with any differences in W&B and the effects of the larger baggage area has had on the aircraft when it has been loaded up. For example, can you take two people some fuel and load the baggage area up and still be within CG.
My plan is to enlarge the baggage area on my Kitfox IV Speedster. However, my aircraft in already built and covered so I will not have the luxury of doing the work with the covering not installed. I plan on removing the seats to gain access and go from there. I plan to use aluminum angle material for the structure and aluminum sheet for the flooring and side walls. I might also use custom made nylon cargo netting for the sides if it is lighter and maybe light thin plywood for the floor. What ever is lighter and strong enough I will use.
If anyone can help with input, pictures and experiences it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Chris,
Check the archives. I posted pictures and info on my hard
baggage system in my IV sometime this past year. If you can't find it
I'll look it up when I get home.

Aren't you worried about CoG with the guns so far aft?
