I'm an avid golfer, but have to go solo when I want to take my golf clubs... as their length requires passenger seat removal. Has anyone done a mod that would allow golf clubs, passenger and pilot? I'm thinking about a tube that would extend past the rear baggage area bulkhead. Might try to design something myself but don't want to re-invent the wheel if there is a good solution already available!

Two things to be careful of......1/ The baggage bulkhead is structural and 2/ Watch your aft C/G as fuel is burned off.

People don?t carry their full size bikes but instead buy foldable bikes to carry in their RV. Why not special clubs for your RV? https://youtu.be/YUpJEJ0tYA4

I can fit my bag sideways with long handle clubs taken out and set between my passenger and I.
Not ideal but it does work if you have a small carry bag.

I made a hatch in the rear bulkhead at floor level, hinged at the top. I riveted a doubler around the perimeter that keeps the door from moving into the fuselage cavity. A screw keeps it closed 99% of the time and it is easy to haul a long rifle or two in their cases. Just the last 18" or so of the muzzle goes thru the hatch door and the baggage straps hold everything in place.
Golf Clubs in a Model 6 or 7?
