Wow, was I off. I was trying to picture a pod, but this wasn't it. My
thought went to something that went on the bottom of the fuselage i.e.
bellypod.
I pictured something similar to an upside down ski rack that would hook
up to the bottom. Something that could be released at the push of a
lever in an emergency.
Something that, when released (standing still) would be an enclosed
unit for camping gear, golf clubs, ect.
Wow was I off.

I'm planning of fitting a bellypack to the bottom of my Cozy
III, rectangular form, fitting to the lines of the plane,
contoured and streamlined fore and aft, dimensions something
like 20X40X80" (50X100X200cm), mainly dictated by the
dimensions of a Honda Dax moped on the one hand and the
dimensions of my little aluminum frame/inflatable pontoons
catamaran on the other hand. The pack will be built just
like the rest of the plane in foam core glass epoxy sandwich
construction, will be removable and hinged on one side like
the Cozy canopy.
