Miscellaneous modifications.

Once we started traveling in our RV, we quickly found that additional storage for charts etc. would make our trips go more smoothly, particularly when IFR. Adding Van's glove-box to the panel helped, but we still needed more storage space.


Van's glove box kit installation. Fortunately, there was just enough empty space on the right side of the panel for this addition, although I did have to do some rearranging of the altitude encoder etc., mounted in this area.


Map pockets were installed by our knees on each side of the fuselage. I keep mini mag-lites velcro'd in position on each side, ready for night flights. On the right can be seen a large trash bag ready for a queasy Young Eagle, but fortunately unneeded so far!


I really like the flight guides sold by Airguide Publications www.flightguide.com
The set, in three volumes, gives a lot of detail on all the airports in the United States.
I fabricated a box to hold these along with the local instrument approach book, & mounted it just forward of the fuel selector.


Sue found a plastic container that fits nicely between the seats & holds the chocks, rudder lock, peppermints etc. It was modified to fit against the slope of the flap mechanism. Gray spray paint was used, with velcro to hold it down.
