I found some 3/16" bungee at walMart in the crafts section and made a luggage compartment spiderweb to hold items in place in the luggage area,..it was a couple $ a reem and about 18' in each reem

Well today was a special day :) my wife Chris took her first flight in a kitfox and also her first flight with me :)

nice pics and glad you got her in the plane. some advice. when turning, don't go beyond the quick 30. I did a short turn out on takeoff once and did my normal knife edge on the cross wind. yup and real dumb XXS I will tell you. I had to come back and land, she couldn't hold it after that. OH and the quick 30 is a quick bank stopping at a 30 degree. she thought that to be ok. she told me not to ever go beyond that. also when I get up there I put her in charge of where the plane goes. I let your point and I do. Now she loves it.

I tried to turn as flat as i could, but we hit some mild turbulence while turning, that shortened the flight, but she wants to try again when there is no wind, no turbulence, and plenty of cleaning supplies in the ladies rest room lol
