Bernie Knight Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 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... .?? 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.. Any ideas of photos of how you store those loose items old be appreciated.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaba-who Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterg Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 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.

peterg Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Thanks again.I'm going on the look out today. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soleair Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Here's my baggage bay, built behind the main bulkhead. I bought the elasticated net on fleabay - they're used on motorbikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bernie Knight Posted May 23, 2017 Author Share Posted May 23, 2017 The only limiting point is the file size. It tells you if it's too large. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
