Default Pictures of RV Cargo

Greetings all -

I posted a thread last year about what sorts of stuff I haul in the RV. I didn't put any pictures in then, so I thought it might be an interesting thread to start now. Here's today's cargo (pail of lead wheel weights, plus another one just behind the seat).

i'd want a lid on that in case of any bumps or unexpected rough air, that could be a mess

Yeah, I thought about that too. It was a 10 minute return flight, and air on the way over was relatively smooth.

However, in 1200+ hours of flying the plane, I've only had a true negative g turbulence event once or twice. You know, the kind that lofts stuff in the cabin up in the air. And, those were not surprises, as the air nearby wasn't exactly smooth... Flying in wind over mountainous terrain is a different animal...

Fishing weight or cast bullets. I pay about $20 for that around here.

Default Strange Cargo

Delivered a casement window a while back. A tire today. Not as exotic as owls, hawks and turtles but the utility is great. My flight bag and travel tools are stuffed into the tire.

Aric caught me leaving work early for the beach a couple weeks ago

I'll either need to build a surfboard tube into my -6, or start working on a folding surfboard...

Surprisingly, I have fit the super short board in there (under the crossmember, with passenger seat and stick removed).

Captain John was hauling roof trusses to his ranch in Maine the other day. Modification of rear bulkhead required

I once made a run down to SMLA with an 582 Rotax in the rear baggage.

We managed to get all this and 2 kids in the -10 for our trip to see the eclipse last year.

Not an RV, but I strapped a full keg (15.5 gallons) of beer in the back seat of my 170 and flew it into my own bachelor party.
