Default Libelle Camelbak stowage

Good heavens. Do I understand you to mean under the seat pan? Why on
earth would you want to take such a chance? "Little chance" is too
much for me. I put the water in a pouch behind the seat backor stuffed
behind my head.

A long while back somebody (Ian Molesworth?) mentioned "lashing a
Camelbak under the beam supporting the stick" in a Standard Libelle.

With the season visible on the horizon I'm wondering how he did that.
There's obviously sufficient space available under the beam and little
chance of fouling the controls because the stick linkages are are inside
the beam and the rudder cables run in plastic tubes attached to the
cockpit walls. My question is - how is the Camelbak tied down to stop it
getting where it shouldn't be? There are no obvious tie down points in
that area.

If anybody on r.a.s has done this I'd very much like to know the secret.

TIA
