RV8 Golf Club Rack Pictures
Fellow builders, flyers and golfers....Here are a few pics of the Golf Club Rack designed by my father Doug Sr. The concept I had was that if I could safely get my clubs to a location with me, I could either borrow a bag or I can take a colapsable "sunday" bag. The weight of a golf club being 90% in the head, this rack places the club heads very close to the rear seat when its closed. A small foam block will be adhered to the rear seat back that will close against the clubheads so they do not rattle or move around.
These pics will show the rack installed, and out on the bench so you can see its simplicity.
The rear bulkhead is the same, just "Holy" now and a support bracket is installed and supported by a top Screw, and two screws on the sides...
The front new bulkhead bracket can be removed in less than 10 minutes by sliding out the plastice tubes and removing 3 screws so that the luggage bay is normal, other than a holy rear bulhead.
We have not flight tested with the clubs in yet to report any CG issues.
Doug
