Flight Bag Required

[mark sicknote]

My mates and I are looking for new flight bags.

required specs are:


Good to hold all clothing, GPS, headset, shoes etc for 2 - 3 days flying.
Durable - our large bags from pilotmall have fallen apart after about 5 trips!
Must look damm cool!:}Someone out there must have bought the PERFECT flight bag...

thanks in advance

personally I use a rucksack, same one I use for snowboarding and in fact everything I need a bag for!!

I use a rucksack at the moment too, but it's a bit small for headset plus Pooley's VFR guide...

So how's the Argos bag for space? Headset plus Pooley's plus log book ok?

It's cool enough for me at 20 quid...Any illusion of cool vanishes when you're flying a 20 year old flying school spamcan (as I am).

I've got a well used old bag you can have ! Bless her

Can anyone recommend a bag that just fits under the seat in an R22/44?

Great post Bravo.

Hooloovoo, re your post about putting things under the seat, I thought that you whirlybird types avoided doing this as the seat is designed to collapse and provide some cushioning in the event of an engine failure. Could therefore be a bit painful if you have something sharp in the bag! :eek:

Thanks Bravo73,

Just about cool enough...if I can just find the HK branch of Argos...:{

Best,

Sicknote,

Have you got any friends or family in the UK? If so, they might be able to get you one then send it on.

Otherwise, there might be someone selling them on FleaBay who posts internationally.
