I'm sure I'll regret this....but, in between small details such as oil temps, and spin restrictions...can you fit a modern set of golf clubs/bag in most RV's? Today's Drivers are longer (44-45")...(now I'll sit back and take the hits!) Thx in advance though! JOHN SHERM Wilmington, NC (RV wannabe)

Doc,

  

 Knowing you want to play fighter pilot  (again) from time to time, the RV-10 and it's back seat won't work for  you.

  

 Some of the two place RV's, mostly -6,7,  & 9's have been modified by extending the upper portion of the baggage  compartment to accept a golf bag.  However, knowing the tendency of the 7's  to be tail heavy, I doubt I would want to stick even a light bag that far  aft.  I don't know about the W&B of the -6's.  For your purposes,  the -9 is out as it is not acro capable.  Most sellers will mention the mod as a  selling point.

  

 As for putting a bag in a standard baggage  compartment, I haven't tried to fit my clubs in there  but doubt they would  fit.  However, if flying alone, it is easy enough to remove the right stick  (usually they just pull out) and right seat back, thus giving you enough room to  bring your clubs along.  Your golfing partner will have to walk  though.

  

 Have you found any RV's you are interested  in?

  

 Bill

I believe mods have been made for skis and golf clubs to fit partway back through the aft baggage bulkhead on 6's and 7's.  This might help keep the CG within bounds.  Those models are somewhat tail-heavy unless packing the bigger engines and C/S props.  Might find the listing of particular specimens of RV's and their CG data on Doug Reeves' site as a good starting point for some back-of-napkin computations on CG and loading possibilities.  Better probably to copy an existing golf club compartment design from someone who's done it to their flying RV and proven it in the field.

FWIW, the RV-8 can  also handle one set of clubs.  The upper rear baggage compartment bulkhead  is removable with six screws.  Build a simple support aft of that bulkhead  to cradle the clubs between the top longerons and "voila"!  I would plan on  putting the CG a bit further forward to accommodate this setup, but it is  definitely do-able.  Check out Dan Checkoway's site for typical CG  locations for differing configurations of the RV-8.

John:

  

 I actually did a mod on my baggage area to carry my clubs.  Have to  carry a collapsible bag but they are readily available at golf shops or borrow a  bag at destination.  

  

 I copied one a saw on the RV List.
