Schweizer 300CBI cargo hook

[Jmarshall026]

All, I am looking to purchase a cargo hook and mount for my 300CBI. I have not been having much luck finding anything. Any suggestions?

Looking at the spec sheet it's indicating a useful load capacity of 650 lbs. Is it possible this aircraft isn't designed for a cargo hook?

I have seen Schweizer’s advertised for sale with them on there, although rare. Not sure if there is an stc or they got a 337.

Cabri G2 has cargo hook option (of course can only carry about the weight equal to your missing passenger)
Never saw a cargo hook on the 300. also I seem to remember the CBi feeling like the most underpowered of the type family (compared to the 269)

I saw that one advertised as well. I checked several months ago and they said it was sold.

You will need a cargo swing system that is a Schweizer part basically 2 steel plates to hold the hook, 4 wires that go to cross beams. Have to drill holes through your cross beams to mount the eyes with some doubler plates ! Hook will come from Onboard systems these days but usefully doesnt come with the technical release!
I have a spare suspension system ( new ) with all the eye bolts and double plates . Only spare hook I have is for a 369 which is the same thing, but have no paperwork
