I almost hate to mention this ...but in the hopes of establishing a look-out/observation for longevity...as well as to offer the comment to anyone else considering window installations.... the common "silicone" sealant known as "RTV" is not recommended for most plastics used for windows due to the ammonia which gases off during the curing process, which embrittles and crazes the plexi.

Cessna ordinarily uses/recommends gasketing made of rubber or felt.

(I also caution against using "ProSeal" on windshields which should "float" in 100 series Cessnas. If you firmly glue them in-place, taxying on unimproved fields will usually result in cracking them if they can't float.)

I'm liking your airplane more and more. BIG tires and no headliner. COOL

I went with 1/4" rather than the 1/2" because of the weight, but I think its going to be pretty damn quiet in there so I think I made the right decision.

Im really liking how the interior is shaping up. I am def not putting panels or a headliner back in. Going to keep the "utility" look.

Hi Greg,
How are you attaching those panels? I saw on the Selkirk website that they recommended spray adhesive and contact cement but I think I would prefer that they be easily removed. Do you think double sided tape would stick to the foam well enough to attach it?

Also, do those numbers come off of the foam panels easily?

I like the looks of this and my plane needs to go on a diet.... Might be a good option for me.

Thanks, Keith

Hi Greg, looks good. I am planning to use the same for a late model 180 project I am doing though I am going with the Selkirk interior panels. Are the pieces precut to fit or did you have to final fit each one? Any idea how much the entire insulation package weighs? Thank"s

Tim

Cool. What style did you go with? A close up would be nice. What is the cost?

Velcro is great to use here

I used velcro when I put in my airtex carpet. I sewed the velcro to the carpet to keep it from just pulling the foam off the backing.

Other than the tunnel, the carpet stays in place by itself anyway.
