Storage options


Recommended Posts

image.jpg.dacb8f1da91a4bd98215b6c3c27fe1fd.jpg I've seen a number of options for storage of those loose items such as phones, glasses, maps, beacons etc.

 

What have you found the best storage options - net type pockets, metal storage or elastic topped pockets in vinyl etc...smoking.gif.2d8aabfab26579c9810e4f07a330ce61.gif .??

 

The above photo has a number of net type pockets and a larger net in the rear storage.

 

I wonder where you get those nets? - auto shops etc..024_cool.gif.7a88a3168ebd868f5549631161e2b369.gif

 

Any ideas of photos of how you store those loose items old be appreciated..

Guess it depends on if you can make fixed changes to the aircraft or not.

 

If you can there are a number of automotive "organisers" that can be either used as is or modified and hard-attached.

 

I got some from autobarn or supacheap which I've attached to the inside of the doors in the jab 430. I must admit haven't seen the same model lately but I'd guess similar ones will do the same job.

 

They are a couple of layers of pockets with some mesh and some fabric. Have worked well for 10 years.

I have seen these items at $2 shops from time to time as well.

Thanks again.I'm going on the look out today.

Try Yacht Chandlers as well - I'm reasonably sure Whitworths in Melbourne stock elasticised storage netting and there are a couple of good chandlers in Geelong that would be worth a try.

Also,

 

OXLEY NETS Pty Ltd 20 Network Dr, Port Melbourne VIC 3207 Ph 1300 730 731

 

will make to order using normal net any size you like with shock cord on whatever edges you wish.

 

They have done stuff for me in the past and they are both professional and reasonable.

Hi Bernie can you give me a step by step guide on how to upload photos to forum posts?

I'm ok with text and email but a bit lost with this website

 

Thank you
