I've got four of the Van's ones, but now I wish I had asked here first. These ones look very nice, and the price is a lot friendlier too.PJSeipel said:
Philip, When we install these, is there a preferred direction for the slot, like forward/aft or side to side? Thanks!pmercier said:These all look to be the same configuration we used in the Air Cargo operation. All carriers air and ground use a common product and all are interchangable.

I have my doubts that in heavy turbulence a suitcase that will fit in our baggage compartment could possibly find its way over the seat to cause a problem. Seems like it is unlikely you would need to use them
They will be useful when doing aft CG flight testing, as you will need ballast to achieve the aft CG. I don't want the ballast just floating around as I am testing stalls and spins. I know some people don't do aft CG flight testing, but that means that the first time you fly with aft CG is probably with a passenger on board. If the airplane has any tricks to show me, I want to find them when I am solo, and doing the tests at a safe altitude, rather than be surprised later.7pilot said:I would be interested to know how many people with flying RV's are really using the tie downs?
