I try to fly the Sportsman sequence at least a few times a week solo and provide introductory aerobatic instruction as part of a general three-dimensional / confidence / expanded envelope training to students. A few things that are a persistent pain in the butt that I'm curious how other people address are:
1. Headset control modules and cords. How do you secure those in a way that makes it easy to replace batteries but keeps things from flopping around?
2. Rear harness when solo. I connect and cinch down everything and then wrap it all with a bungee, but I still hear things flopping around back there.
3. Other "stuff" in the cockpit. My Super D has a velcro pocket which does an ok job, but it's a real challenge to get stuff into / out of it when strapped into the cockpit. Has anyone come up with a novel way to store stuff in the baggage compartment that's acro friendly (fuel sump, fuel stick, etc.)?
