I did a bit of looking into this idea and came to the conclusion that the empty weight of the pod alone made it's usefulness questionable. I respectfully suggest that the following three available mods will serve the typical 170 pilot much better. The extended baggage area, baggage door and an bagga...

To all, I am currently making use of the weight & balance feature within the Fltplan app however it doesn't seem to allow a means to "modify" for the the extended baggage area. I of course have all the required data but now looking for a suitable means to "load plan" for a fl...

Yup, for lawyers

As we've all ready determined in previous post there is no fuel advantage the L-19 tanks are the same volume so nothing in it but legal mombo-jumbo

Maybe we could just install a couple of drop tanks !!!!
