Was just wondering about this myself. Leaves you out of a whole bunch of flour
bomb contests at various flyins.

My local airport does a 'Pumpkin Plummet' each year where people fly
over the airport and try to bomb a target with left-over Halloween
pumpkins. Great fun for everyone - including the local FAA guy that is
always in attendance. Perfectly legal.
Along those lines, I've seriously thought about putting 'hard points' on
my RV, as well (so I can participate in the 'Plummet') My idea was to
use something like the tie-down brackets that are bolted to the wing
spars. I would bolt them to the spar underneath the seats in the center
section though. That way your drag is in the center and any wires or
cable runs are minimized. Also makes bombing easier because your bomb is
coming off the centerline....

if one wanted to be able to deliver a package to someone via an RV - can
you open the canopy in flight for this purpose if you are flying slow?
If not, I might want to consider a trap door in the floor. Any ideas or
thoughts on this would be appreciated?
also has anyone thought about how you might videotape from an RV? I was
wondering about making a spot on my wing so I might mount a pod - the
pod might look like missle on a fighter jet -but it might have a video
camera mounted in the nose? The mount might just be two 3/8 inch holes
into which you might screw two 3/8 bolts which come off this pod.
How might one videotape from an RV - any thoughts I'd love to hear? if
it were dry out, perhaps you could just mount the video camera upside
down using the tripod mount - it could screw into the wing somewhere? I
think that would be really neat - then my grandmother could watch it and
see where i've been.

Julia, If you figure it out let me know. ... my father-in-law wants me to dump
his (cremation) ashes over the NM mountains.
He has a lot of old friends - maybe there's a black market for this sort of thing
:-)
Cheers,

So you're saying that your plane needs an "ash-hole"?

I hate to be a party pooper, but isn't there a prohibition against using
experimental aircraft for commercial purposes? Also, don't you need a
commercial license?

you guys and your dirty thoughts - no not drugs - written materials for
prospective
clients. This way I can write off some of my flying expenses as business
expenses.

Dropping something like color die over the ocean for " fish spotting" is
permissable. I did fish spotting over the summer. Made great money.
