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.

And by the way, I've now lost my top spot at hauling weight

Re: DA40 Adding the extended luggage compartment
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.

Re: DA40 Adding the extended luggage compartment
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!

Re: DA40 Adding the extended luggage compartment
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 )
