Default Golf Clubs Fit!

Just an FYI, I've easily hauled two full sets of golf clubs and bags (one is a big Pro Tour bag) in my RV-6. If you take the clubs out, they will lay across the floor, although I did have toe wedge my driver in underneath my seat. Empty, the bags fit across the clubs, and the soft luggage on top of that.

I should have taken a picture of it. They guy on the ramp at the Myrtle Beach airport was amazed as I kept pulling stuff out of the airplane.

Check out post #16 on the second page of this thread.

As far as I can tell, they are no longer in production. That and you had better plan ahead because you need to put two platenuts (I guess rivenuts will work) in the leading edge. Heck, you could probably put them just aft of spar, right above an inspection panel.

As for golf clubs, some people have drilled holes in the baggage bulkhead (You didn't way which plane you have.) and fitted those plastic club tubes in there, with a second bulkhead to hold the aft end of the tubes in place.

BTW, if you own an RV, sell the clubs because you won’t have time to play with those sticks.

Those travel pods on the post 16 previously mentioned are the ones Mike Arnold built.

Go to post 14 and there is link to buy his video where he shows how to make it. I have a copy, it is very interesting to watch.
