  John- What is the weight of all your camping gear, and how do you stow it?  What do you tie it to?  Yesterday's cockpit photo has me wondering

Bill S/Gang:

  

 My camping gear, clothes, air plane stuff, weighs  between 100 and 125 lbs.  

  

 I have 150 lbs of fuel (25 gal) when I take  off.

  

 I weigh probably close to 200 lbs fully clothed  with a belly full of eggs, bacon, grits, and toast, plus 3 cups of  coffee.

  

 Dennis Souder said my airplane weighed 630 lbs in  1994.  Probably gained some more weight since then.  That's about 1100  lbs and my MKIII is placarded for 1200 lbs max gross.

  

 I designed my mkIII to fly cross country before we  ever started welding the fuselage up.  25 gal aluminum fuel tank up top  where the standard MKIII has a large empty space.  This opened up the  bottom half, normally cluttered up with two 5 gal plastic cans.  Most of my  gear is stowed in the cargo compartment.

  

 I also stow gear under each seat, behind each seat,  and up in the nose pod ahead of the rudder pedals.

  

 Got a place for everything I need to live out of  the mkIII.  Nothing gets tied down, it all has its own spot.
