Build a slider and take 3/4 hour to modify the tracks to allow it to tip up. You don't have to buy a mod kit. Baggage access is drop-in and stack vs. shove if you have a door. It's really easy to load if a tail dragger.

Stan Shannon (past on in 2010) put one similar to a Mooney in his rear window on a tip up. Worked rear well.
