Dave,
I too need the answer to this and was planning on taking detailed pictures of an RV-7A baggage compartment if I ever get the chance to look closely at one. My concern was not so much weight capacity but how easy it is to fit items into the compartment and what size items would fit. I remember looking at an RV-6 a few years ago at Sun 'n Fun and thought it odd that there were some straps or cables over the top of the compartment going from the seat backs to the back of the baggage compartment. The owner was not there to ask about them and I don't remember if that was common to most of the RV-6s I looked at or just that one. Are there any RV-7/7A owners out there who could post some pictures and dimensions? Rick Poole Remove "nospam" to email "Dave S" wrote in message k.net...

The owner was not there to ask about them and I don't remember if that was common to most of the RV-6s I looked at or just that one. Think about it for a second. You have a 40 or 50 lbs object behind your head traveling in a vehicle that is going 150 mph. If the vehicle decelerates of stops suddenly what is going to happen to that object? Hint: The cables or straps were tie downs. |

And hence we have ANOTHER person who cannot tell the difference between
MASS and VOLUME. I feel your frustration. And.. whats sad is.. the person who said 100 pounds probably thought they were being helpful by pointing out something "obvious" Dave RR Urban wrote: Hello All, I am strongly considering the RV-7a and am interested in knowing the dimensions of the baggage area behind the seats.

Pounds (lbs.) are a measure of weight, not mass (which in the English system would be slugs). Van's own web page shows the baggage area to be "12+ cu. ft." If you need a more precise number, I would suggest contacting Van's Aircraft directly. http://www.vansaircraft.com/public/rv-7spe.htm Russell Kent |

Heed your own advice, fool. Pounds (lbs.) are a measure of weight, not mass (which in the English system would be slugs). Where'd you get that idea?
