But the alternative is to have to load each bag, then lift it up and
slide other bags under it. That surely can't be better than the Mooney method. Perhaps my family of 4 just carries a lot more bags than most. Our door is big enough to actually fit my body inside the plane. If I have enough luggage to fill it to the top of the fuselage (usually a camping trip, with coolers, tents, etc.) it takes a bit of pre-planning to load all the baggage in a logical order. Sometimes the last couple of items must be "dropped in" over the back seats. Still, for 90% of our trips, we don't come close to filling the baggage compartment, even with four people. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

You guy's all have it easy!! Try loading anything into the back of my
Citabria (the new ones do have an option for a baggage door). I have the smaller engine 7ECA so I can easily carry the weight for a couple's weekend bags. Tough to get them back there however, I have to kneel on the back seat. It's shame really because there's plenty of room for soft bags.
