Lightbulb Cargo Pods

I have been considering selling my Skymaster only because I am cubeing it out with 3 children and baggage.

So I started to think and the only reason I was going to sell was that I needed more room in the third row for the current 8 year old and the motors were getting up there in time since reman.
They currently have 1200 hours, all compressions are in the 70 and I burn about a quart every 12 hours. Why sell this great plane if I can find a solution.

I was headed in the Seneca 3 direction, when I discovered the availability of the cargo pod. I have to say I have not seen much discussion on them since I have been here and would love to hear what guys think about them pro and con.

What I have heard is 3-4 mph decline in TAS and once you put them on, you should not take them off.

Thanks and I look forward in staying in the Skymaster Brotherhood.

Rick
