Baggage Storage # 121 & 126

Baggage Storage # 121 & 126 (Peter Greenrod & Wilfrid Rouff.)
As you know it is very difficult to carry anything at all in the S4/5 [Some have a small seat-back pocket.]

Peter Greenrod. Three things I have made to help.
My side pocket container was cut down from a cloth tool carrier. I carry my maps, 600ml of 2 stroke oil, a few tools, a spare PAYG phone and a PLB.
The green bag behind the seat will accommodate a very small tent and sleeping bag + tie down straps and pegs. Top and bottom mounts ensure that the bag will not interfere with the controls and still turn to see the fuel contents in the tank behind me.

The chart tray just in front of my seat is set under my legs.

Here is our new instrument panel, 3 MGL weigh only 240 grams altogether. Spot on the right is reserved to put a GPS, the flat instrument panel top will carry maps, or whatever (maintained by bungee cord, not on yet). On the floor you can see a plastic trunk, very useful to carry a large enough container of extra oil, spark plugs, ropes and stakes to secure the plane, a couple of underwear and a tooth brush. Down on the right you will notice the red handle of the ballistic parachute.
