 |

I keep adding distractions to keep me from going back to work on the doors...
How does one keep items stowed in the baggage compartment from bouncing around and ruining a perfectly good airplane. The plans were pretty silent in that area. Cargo netting? Strap attach hardpoints?
Cheers,
Jay

Bungee cords or net, both anchored. See anchors

I would recommend getting 6 from Dave. One each for each corner in the baggage compartment and one for each side to the passenger footwell. When securing items in the passenger seats, the seat belts work but they pull rearward. Having the ability to tie forward is also nice. The tie downs fold down and my Pax don't notice them at all.

Its possible to make them using aluminum or stainless hinge of sufficient
width. I made mine for about $10 of material from McMaster Carr plus of
course my labor. The idea of adding them to the rear passenger footwalls is
a good idea. I might add that they could also fit outboard of the rear seat
cushions.

Cessna has some nice eye bolts that are like the main aircraft tie-downs under the wings (lot smaller) but made for #8 screws. They just screw in. It means just putting in a reinforcement plate and a few flush rivets with a #8 nut plate. The best part is that they just screw right in or out and you can use cheap bungee cords with them.

Had those in my C177RG. The problem with those is that they have to be
offset from the sides/corners to allow insertion/extraction. When unused the
luggage sits atop them. Mine went through the carpet. A hassle to remove and
store. Flat hinges with one side riveted to the floor can lie flat under the
carpet while the other side protrudes to use by bungee cords or nets. Or the
hinges (both sides) can lie flat and unseen beneath the carpet.
