Posted 2 Sep 2018 Does anyone remember the name and contact info for the guy who used to make the cargo bag that hangs behind the pilot? I still have mine, but I want to get another to match the color scheme on my MK4.John M Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 11 Sep 2018 (edited) Some ideas in regards to cargo bags... It is not that hard to do yourself, or ask whoever has the sewing machine to help you. I made a hanging bag behind the seats. It has 2 aluminum tube frames. The top frame can be separate in 2 "U" shapes so it can be easily removed when folding the wings.The lower frame hold a stiff bottom plate.The fabric is folded over the frame and attached with Velcro. The bag is then attached to the existing tubes with some tent clips I found on Amazon... https://www.amazon.fr/MagiDeal-10pcs-Crochet-Plastique-10mm-13mm/dp/B019C3WKHQ/ref=cm_wl_huc_item (the link is to the French Amazon as I, after just a short search, could not find them on .com) there are 2 size, one fit the smaller tubes and the other the bigger tubes...The 'behind the head bag" clips to the tubes with the same kind of tent clips and can easily be detached and carried around as I made a handle on the rear side.The leather details are just for fun and requires a rather solid sewing machine. I happen to have an old Singer with a hand crank, but without the leather trimmings the rest could be done on and machine.I started by doing a prop of paper and adhesive tape and then used the parts as a pattern.

Posted 12 Sep 2018 John I’m rocking your old red bag and the bag behind my head in my B model and the MK4. Plenty of space in both for trips now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 19 Sep 2018 I have the bag from Fischer and it has served well for years. My B model Avid was blue and so the bag is blue. I will call to see if he has maroon to match the paint scheme on my MK4.John M Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 9 Oct 2018 C%5engineer: R U referring to the red hanging bad I provided to Joey?I had great use of that bag on my B model. When I totaled the B I pulled all the useful parts and sold the B to a guy at Whitman field here in SoCal. He was goinf to fix it and sell it. Don't know if that happened.The red hanging bag gave more room than the standard baggage compartment on my MK4.John M Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
