GCBC Belly Pods

Have you modified your aircraft? STC? STOL Kit? Major rebuild from just a data plate?

GCBC Belly Pods

I was wondering if anybody knows of a Belly Pod out there for American Champion aircraft? Or how hard it would be to adapt a super cub pod to fit for (experimental) applications?

Re: GCBC Belly Pods

This does not answer your question, but to search for any type of STC's on a make/model go here:

http://rgl.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guida ... enFrameSet

Enter 7GCBC, 8GCBC, PA-18, etc. for registered STCs for make/model. Very handy when you get a new airplane.

Well as long as we are talking belly pods here, I have one for a Scout or Citabria, made by Sorensen. I'd take a grand for it. It was used as an AV gas aux tank to fly the Atlantic. It holds 80-90 gallons, but could be turned into a cargo unit fairly easily.

Re: GCBC Belly Pods

Did you buy it or make it? Is it a pod or a belly tank? How do you like it?

Re: GCBC Belly Pods

I bought it. It is a tank, but could easily convert to storage pod. To be honest, I haven't had tines or need to put it on the plane yet. Been to busy just flying around. Next summer I'm sueebitll get put on.

Re: GCBC Belly Pods

Good news! Www.airglas.com is working on a pod.

They have an 8GCBC mock up and have been working on the mold as time permits. The more inquiries they receive the higher priority the project receives.

Give them a call and get on the waiting list. I'm looking forward to their purpose built pod.

Regards

Re: GCBC Belly Pods

Last minute request. Is there anyone driving through Ohio to Texas for the holidays?? I have my belly tank sold to N300RE if I can get it delivered. It's light but bulky.
