We made some modifications to the baggage area to make it more usable. We cut some 2" thick (pink) foam to build up the baggage area on both sides of the center push-pull tube cover. This was done to make the baggage floor flat without a big bump in the middle. We sprayed the pink foam with gray paint, and also covered the top with gray fabric that was left-over from our interior finishing kit. Contact cement was used to glue the fabric to the top of the foam.

Next, we added a small cargo net to the rear baggage floor, anchored to 4 tie down. We also fabricated a second net for the cargo area directly behind the seats. This allows us to quickly drop a flight bag behind the seats without worrying that it will move around. We fabricated this ourselves from from some polyester black mesh fabric we got off of Amazon. It was cut to size, and double-fold bias tape was sewn along all sides. Paracord was run through the front and back edges to allow for attachment, and the ends were simply tied to a few of the fuselage tubes.
