velocity dreamer Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 What performance differences have been noted with the baggage pods on. Do they slow you down much? increase fuel burn? Those that have them do they take them off and on or just leve them on. Lynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waiter Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 I see about a 5kt loose with the pods. Waiter Quote F16 performance on a Piper Cub budget LongEZ, 160hp, MT CS Prop, Downdraft cooling, Full retract visit: www.iflyez.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neverquit Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 They come off when not needed Lynn. Heck, if I'm going cross country I'll lose 5-10 knots and enjoy the view for the extra room. Only wish I could put my stinky dog in one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waiter Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 It takes about ten minutes to install/remove them. I've done acrobatics with them installed, but only if they are empty. With my new paint scheem (F-16 Camo), I'm going to paint them to look like bombs.

damyankee Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Hi Waiter I've tried to e-mail Gary a gluegaru@earthlink.com for baggage pods with no luck. Do you have any better info. Thanks DamYankee:cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HatSwitch Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 . . . Only wish I could put my stinky dog in one. I can relate, mine already has his spot picked out and the gear isn't even installed yet.
