I bought a RV9A in November. In studying the Weight and balance section of the POH. It refers to forward baggage 122” aft of datum and aft baggage 144 inches aft of datum. I can see the aft baggage area but I can’t find the forward baggage area. Can someone help?
Thanks

The baggage area on the 9 is at 122? aft. 144? is even further back, and would seem to imply that the builder added an extra storage area. Is there a compartment behind the baggage bulkhead?

Not by the plans - but some people have installed long tubes back in that area to carry fishing rods. It's far enough aft that you certainly don't want to put any meaningful weight back in that area.
Is there a downloadable procedure for doing this?

Might be an idea to redo the whole weighing & calculate your own data to confirm the base data in the POH.

I wonder if anyone has put in wing lockers, like the Zenith?
