Depending on one’s software development experience this can be a primitive process. It’s text editing of the underlying wiki entries. If you’d like PM me your data and I’ll take care of it. Otherwise, there’s an Edit panel at the top. Cutting/pasting is your friend.
I made the addition to the table and made a couple of presentation corrections. Also note that there is a link to the wiki up above the splash picture on the right.

And by the way, I've now lost my top spot at hauling weight :(
Rich- Thanks to a fellow Diamond Aviator I was able to add a used extended baggage (+8lb) this week so you may be back in the top spot. Bernie

Hey Jonathan, I’m definitely interested!

Or if anyone else knows of an extended baggage compartment laying around somewhere, please let me know!

There is a Service bulletin (OSB40-028) with related Work Instructions that describes the installation process. The several WI's would give insight into the various tasks and parts required. Just asking Diamond support would likely get you copies of these WIs.

Rich, I’ve got the WIs - I just need the parts - hoping someone on the forums has an extended baggage compartment they’re willing to sell!

Could you post them here? I have a sense of what they did but curious about some details. (And no, you can’t have mine :D )
