I have a pod on my Cessna 206. It comes to a point on the front, but
the sides and bottom are all flat sheets and the corners have very
little radius, maybe 1 inch. It wraps up the side of the fuselage about
4 inches, so the bottom is actually flatter than the original. It is
less than 8 inches behind the exhaust.



What's the approx size of your pod L-W-D?
(...forget the ends if that's an easier est. g)

How do you access it?

What did it cost in performance numbers before-and-after? Noticeable?

Oh, what's the back of your pod look like?

Thanks.

Useable about 40 inches W x 70 inches L x 9 inches D, overall 96 inches L
10 inches H x 27 inches W door on side.
Book says 5 to 8 mph and 50 fpm climb
Width tapers from 40 inches at 60 inches back to 30 inches at 84 inches
to 20 at end. Bottom is flat and curves up to meet the fuselage.
Book says "designed to accommodate three 'two-suiters' plus misc"
