bigaege compertment is availebil from Airtex or aircraft Sprooce companie, holds in with rope or string around the top rear seat tube - u need a wood sepport on the rear across between tube structcher mine had big staples in to the wood but you gotta use a lot of stapels and rap the bag around the wood put the staples in the bottom not the top hope this helps

Howard you are right of course, however I have not used a computer in over ten years that did not have spell check. Ricky, I apoligise but, posts like yours are hard to read and comprehend for an old geezer like me.

In my best Hannibal Lecter voice... go ahead Larry - they'll blame it on me

Ricky, no personal offense whatsoever is meant at all, in fact the "content" of my message was technically accurate as best as I know.

Maybe Forum Admin Bob O. can find a way to program this website with some kind of a translate feature. There used to be a program called "Babel Fish" which could translate between various languages.

The guy who comes up with a method to translate this generation's text-gibberish into the previous generations' English is the next internet billionaire!

Re: 46 bc12d baggage compartment

That is all very unfair, Gentlemen. English might not be Ricky's first language, or he might not be up to our ever-so-wonderful keyboard skills, which we all had to learn some time.

Sensible responses to the original question would be welcome, I'm sure. Bill, would you care to translate what is probably your sensible response?

Well, who am I to deny a request from an official Forum Moderator? I'm not sure when 'sensible' applied to anything involving a Taylorcraft (or any of us in this discussion forum), but I'll give it a shot mostly since I can't argue with Rob's logic just right now...... and I'm about to use the documentation he kindly created to adjust my brakes so I guess I'll have to knuckle under.

Ricky, my airplane was apparently very well restored several years ago, and was equipped with a very standard looking baggage sack. The front of the sack had several brass grommets along the front edge, through which it was tied to the rear seatback cross tube with a clothesline-sized cord.

The rear of the sack was stapled to a piece of wood that ran across the fuselage, about a foot behind the rear seatback cross tube. This wood was approx. one inch square spruce and was attached to the fuselage tube structure using an "Adel" clamp (standard aircraft loop clamp) on each end.

I am not 100% certain that this is the original mounting method (on the rear wood piece), but I am almost sure that it will be found acceptable to any mechanic or inspector during an annual. One of the trophy level restorers or many-time T-craft owners on this forum might be able to verify exactly what the original mounting method is, if you are striving for absolute accuracy.

If you do use a wooden cross piece, and you happen to NOT have the standard interior fabric material headliner that goes from this wood up to the top of the cabin, then please consider one important suggestion: Put a piece of light cargo netting in place to close off the rear fuselage from the baggage area. I have an old sectional chart that flew out of the baggage compartment in turbulence, flew into the rear fuselage, and has been there collecting dust for a long time. If it had been a sleeping bag, or quart of oil flying around back there, it would be a problem that would be not easy to solve.

Re: 46 bc12d baggage compartment

Hey Rickey, don't sweat the computer communication problems. There are others who are translating here and once we figure out the syntax it gets easier (hope my assumption you are working from French is correct).
On your baggage compartment, the wings are off my 41 and I am putting in all new glass. My baggage sling is pretty easy to get to for pictures and the hat shelf is out so I can see the wood parts. I also have a LOOOOONG term restoration going on a 45 which is completely different construction, so it would help to know what year and model you are trying to work with. Someone here will have pictures (or even drawings) of the parts you need.

Re: 46 bc12d baggage compartment

Hi Len
I have enjoyed your posts and have never had trouble discerning the intent or meaning of your messsages. The technical information that you have passed on has been accurate and pertinent
I am a little embarrassed by some of the comments aimed at your posts. You are a good sport....

Awww, you can all poke fun at me anytime for any number of my own shortcomings... go ahead, I deserve it.

Re: 46 bc12d baggage compartment

If not for spell check, NO ONE here could read my posts.
I hope any new folks understand the "Tribe" is kind of like a family. Sometimes family members (especially brothers) poke fun at each other. I have NEVER heard anyone here intentionally throw an intended hurtful comment.
