Aft fuselage bulkhead and baggage compartment modification PDF Print E-mail
This kit modifies the aft fuselage bulkhead, reroutes the aileron cables, extends the baggage compartment floor to the aft of the fuselage tower and replaces the rear seat with a 50/50 folding seat, STC SA5771NM.
This kit is actually three kits: the Aft bulkhead modification and baggage compartment floor extension, aileron cable reroute and the folding rear seat replacement.


Both Seats Down (Large Image)Republic Seabee baggage compartment modification seats down
The aft bulkhead modification opens up the rear baggage compartment by modifying the bulkhead so that there is no impediment behind the seats to the baggage compartment.  That means no more little hole and using your boat hook to fish out gear.  This is in our opinion is one of the "must do" modifications for the Seabee.  In addition to removing the aft bulkhead the original plywood baggage compartment floor is replaced with a new aluminum floor structure that adds cargo hooks.  This is a complex kit to install and should be done only by an A&P with Seabee experience.  If you are not having our shop do this work then we will be happy to recommend an experienced Seabee A&P.  This kit includes the parts to modify the bulkhead and the STC.  The STC included with this kit is used for the other two kits related to this modification.

The aileron cable relocation and baggage compartment floor extension kit relocates the aileron cables to open up the aft part of the baggage compartment and extends the baggage compartment floor to create a level space from the modified bulkhead to the back of the fuselage tower.  This kit requires that the aft bulkhead modification be installed.

The folding seat kit provides a replacement 50/50 folding seat that allows for a 2,3 or 4 seat configuration of the aircraft.  The folding seats in the "down" position provide a completely flat cargo area from the rear of the front seats to the back of the fuselage tower, approx 8 feet.  This kit requires that aft bulkhead modification.

Help Extend or Eliminate Hartzell AD97-18-2

Henry Ruzakowski and and Brian VanWagnen  are compiling data on the results of inspections on Hartzell X, V series propellers, in order to petition the FAA to provide relief on the repetitive inspection requirements.  Brian has met with the FAA and was told that if he could provide data that shows that these propellers were holding up well during the repetitive inspections, they would increase the interval between repetitive inspections. Please download and fill out the form they have provided, and mail a paper copy of it, along with copies of yellow tags & invoices you may have to the address provided on the form.  Brian will be collecting the data and sending it to the FAA in written form.

You may contact Brian VanWagnen with any questions at (517) 764-4193, or e-mail.
