svengarlick said:Why dont you guys like the Airglas cargo pod? Its certified for 140 lbs.
svengarlick said:So realistically how much weight can you put in a Firman pod. Can you put 130 lbs in it and not have it crack, bust or fall off the plane?
ground loop said:It would be nice if someone from Airglas exposed to us why they decides on the size and weight of their pod. How was the Firman pod designed?
landesskis said:Airglas had to put over 600 lbs in the belly pod (static test) and then we flight tested in both wheels, floats and skis with over 150 spins. This is the reason that the pod is certified on floats, wheels and skis. Please don't badmouth the Airglas product when we meet the FAA regulations. Airglas works hard in making a product that is safe in the air and on the ground. Airglas' stance is if you can produce a product to meet the FAA regulations, then do it!. Airglas stands by its' reputation of being in business for 50 years. General Aviation needs every body to help in the invovation of new ideas.
Thanks

kase said:Does anybody know if the STC will only cover new manufacture pods. Theres two here that was built a few years ago and installed under field approvals. Just wondereing if we put it under a different plane if the new stc would cover it?
