No storage area is complete without the little door

No storage panel is complete without its very own little door, so just above the rear cockpit seat is the access point to my storage compartment. The door is large enough to fit essential items and yet too small for luggage or the temptation of over loading it. I suppose its much like a brief case or a woman's purse, no matter how big it is, its always too small and grossly overloaded.

We still have that CG thing to contend with and with a tail heavy aircraft more weight aft of the CG is an invitation for control issues. So no luggage in here. Actually with the exception of some needed emergency gear. This are will only be fully utilized post landing for helmet, goggles, scarf and till the other cool barnstormer open cockpit accouterments and some more modern, radio headset that stuff too.
