Trying to find out if there is an STC to retrofit the baggage door on to a 1953 Cessna 180?
Background: Have been assessing different single engine taildraggers for about six months, including upgraded 170Bs, etc. Preference is a 180 and found a nice, well maintained example at a fair asking price not far from my home airport that I am about to put into pre-purchase inspection.
Only minor issue is its a 1953, first year of commercial production, and it does not have the baggage door that came on all subsequent 180s. This is a minor inconvenience, not a show stopper, but would be one of the things I would like to change if I buy the plane.
Appreciate any feedback.
