Does any one know if you get a aftermarket carrier box that you can fit onto the undercarriage of a trice for light weight luggage. :roll:

One of the guys at the Stanley Island Fly-In fitted the ex military mortor containers (if you can immagine 3 tubes joined together, each with an individually opening tops). He fitted this behind the seat, below the motor. He says it's for his Brandy and Coke, stays very cool in flight he says.

I heard that taxing have something to do with flying so I thought of a roof carrier, but I think I should rather settle for a boot, something fitted to the belly of the trice to fit a tent with poles or a fishing rod. :)

Check http://www.uflyit.com/cargo_pods.htm Fitted to a challenger, but should be easy to mount on trike undercart?

But if you want to take fish rods, maybe a 110mm waste pipe with a plug on back and fibre glass spinner type cowl on front mounted to bottom/side of tike would work. Know a guy did something similar to modify his eggbeater to carry fish rods and ogg golf club. Don't know how successful it was.. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

No idea. Check the link. They advertise heavily on Barnstormers which was a regular daily stop when I was RV hunting, that why I know about them..... :wink:

Link been fixed. Was a . :? at the end of it :oops: :oops: :oops: Sorry.

Seems they $175 plus extra's. Am sure if you got fibreglass makkie locally a pic he could design something like this for you?

WX has been so K@K the guru's say it will not cure? So I am still waiting. All at the ready for 30 Deg -0< ':-

PS
Should not be too hard, but I am not sure about mounting points and if it will stand up to wind resistance. There is a Plan is to make 2 (or 1 biggish) pods for extra fuel in the RV mounted under wings or on belly. Will slow he down a bit, but will make cheaper as fuel in the sticks (out of drums) is often R2-R3 more per litre.....
