Wing Bags

How are you managing the Pilot bags in your trailer? Long handles like that make them a bit problematic to hang... I would assume...



Thanks for the input!

I have Wing-tote bags which also have the long handles and I use a strap from the top edge on the side of my trailer, string it through the handle and hook the other end at another point on the top edge and snug it so there is no slack in the strap and let them ride

I hang them from the wall with 2 caribiners or just bungee them to the wall.

No trailer for me. Bought a Ford Flex to transport my planes. Perfect vehicle for our hobby.

I hate the long handles also. I end up looping them around themselves a few times to shorten.

Maybe small D rings on the edge of the bags would be nice?

Yes it would!

I'll third this. I love my Pilot wing bag and the price that came with it.:greedy_dollars: I got mine from Chief as well. I came from using a wing tote bag and will never look back. The straps on the Pilot bag are not as long as the wing tote bag, I can actually carry the Pilot bag on my shoulder and not have it drag on the ground. LOL. I have a couple guys I fly with who will be making the switch with their next planes.

At first I thought this was a thread about my mother-in-law, but then I read closer and saw it said WING bags, not WIND bags!:cocksure:

I have a Wing Tote bag also, and it has held up well. Just have to be careful with the zippers. Even at first glance the Pilot bag just blew the Wing Tote away. I've had mine for a year now and it still looks like the day I bought it.
