Fitting The Luggage Rack And Headsets - Pipistrel Sinus Build Manual

Fitting the luggage rack and headrests
There are two types of luggage racks that come with Pipistrel aircraft; soft and hard. The soft
luggage rack is basically a pouch, that gets strung up between the seats and the first bulkhead.
The hard luggage rack comes in the form of box, that gets built into the area between the seats
and the first bulkhead.
Mounting the soft luggage rack:
Cut holes in the fuselage bulkhead structure for the soft luggage rack. Two holes should

be cut on the right side of the bulkhead and two holes on the left. There is a different
position for the luggage rack if the aircraft is fitted with a chute so please lay the luggage
rack if purchased inside the compartment for determining the best positions for the holes.
Once the seats have been installed, you will be able to attach the luggage pouch to the

back of them.
Mounting the hard luggage rack:
The hard luggage rack is basically a collection of plastic sheets that, when fitted into the fuselage
behind the cabin using Velcro, creates a storage space for luggage. You have received 5 plastic
components and some Velcro patches with your kit. Mounting the hard luggage rack is very
straightforward.
Begin by placing the C-shaped piece, which protects the main elevator control rod, in the

fuselage behind the cabin. Determine where you need to put two strips of Velcro and fix
the C-shaped piece to the floor of the fuselage. The top of this piece should also be
covered in Velcro
