When I build the new fuel tank behind the seat on my UltraStar, I'm going 

to put a baggage compartment in the space where the original tanks were in 

front of the seat.  I'm still debating how to make it.  Thought are thin 

(1/8") plywood, fiberglassed over, or foamboard and glass, or plywood 

without glass, or aluminum and pop rivets.  I'm leaning towards the 

aluminum at the moment, since I have some leftover Alclad and angle stock 

laying around.  Any other suggestions?



I intend to make it at least partially openable in flight.  I've also 

thought of making it easily removable, and adding a handle, so I can call 

it a custom suitcase, not part of the empty weight of my Part 103 aircraft.
