Extended baggage

Motivation

This documented and proven modification to his Bearhawk fuselage removes the station "V" tubes at the flap cable Y station and replaces them with a dog-leg structure, which allows a large pass-through area. This makes is easier to haul long or bulky items, or even for a person to sleep in the fuselage with the rear seat removed. It necessitates moving the flap "Y" cable routing one station rearward, as well as addition of another pulley block.

The modification is [approved|https://n813z.bushplanelab.com/images/6/66/Barrows_reply.pdf] by Bearhawk designer Bob Barrows.
