Removable Pods

ACCOMMODATE YOUR LIFE-STYLE

Boost your cargo space while keeping the weight near your center of gravity. The top-loading design accommodates bulky cargo that most pilots leave behind. A patent-pending winch system, built into the pod, allows you to attach or remove the pod in under a minute. Simply winch your pod onto the belly and secure it with pins; it's that easy! Attach your pod to carry your motorcycle or luggage, then remove it when you're done.

Top Loading:

Conventional Cargo pods are loaded through a small hatch. What about your bicycle or bulky camping gear? No problem! Our pods may be detached for unique top-loading. Unrestricted access allows you to load bulky items, arrange and secure your cargo. Now you can carry bicycles skis, golf clubs and more.

Motorcycle Cradles:

Removable cradles allow you to carry one of our street legal motorcycles. The cradles attach to the floor of your pod with several thumb-screws. Install the cradles to carry your motorcycle, or remove them to make room for bags.

Construction:

Our pods are manufactured from high-performance composites. Key features include:

• Vacuum bagged for lower weight.

Hard-Points (RV-10)

The hard-point kit includes everything you need to create four reinforced attachment points for your removable belly pod. The RV-10 hard-point kit contains machined billet brackets, pre-drilled sheet metal parts, AN hardware and AutoCAD Installation Manual. You can install them yourself or take the airplane to one of our approved sales agents. The hard-points may be installed at any time, although it will be easiest during fuselage construction. Install hard-points now and be ready for your cargo pod later.
