Cargo Door Installation Advice

[Trippster]

Dennis,

I spoke with Ramon about this mod a few weeks ago and posted it on here, but then the messages got deleted. Leighton posted that he has it and likes it. I'm seriously considering it, but I don't have a P model, so it's closer to US$10K vs $25K. Some folks made the very valid question about whether a cargo pod might not be a better and cheaper means of dealing with cargo. It certainly means you don't have to cut into the fuselage and deal with that.

Does your P model have the fuel valves in that wall? That was something Ramon asked because some do and some don't. If it does, that changes things also. Good luck.

Hello Trip
the plane C-FJWT ,now N88TN had the cargo pod, and it was 10+ knots of penalty and lot of holes in the pressure hull and previous owner just scrap it ;-(((
its P337 ,1979 Model ,so i have to deal with the fuel valves issue , just got a reply from Roy ,it will take 90 days to deliver,and i am planning to fly the plane to Europe before X-mass, so i decided to wait for this mod, i will fly the plane with out baggage door and then decide later on, but all advises and opinions are welcome from the current users.

Regards
Dennis
