This won’t be news to many, but I just installed my interior provided by Abbey at Flightline interiors and it is fantastic. A lot of little details that really impressed me and the fit was spot on. Not too painful to install thanks to the good fit.
One recommendation I have is if you choose to install soundproofing in the inside of the firewall, do it as early in the construction process as possible, that was the only real pain as I decided to combine the efforts.
The headliner would certainly be easier to install with the top upside down before installation, but to be honest it wasn’t bad at all using the recommended 3M trim adhesive (spray contact cement) and probably avoids other issues like interfering with installing the windows by waiting until later.
The sound difference is amazing and makes an already very comfortable airplane even more pleasant to fly.
I’m just glad the airplane is finally finished!!!! Of course there are still a number of things to improve on so we have really just gotten to a different phase of the never ending construction process, oh well.

What did you use under the interior for soundproofing? Did you spray the contact cement over the full surface? Pictures ?
Thanks

I just have to second the “fantastic” about Abbey’s great work. I just finished the install yesterday and it was great. I still have lot of work on my end to do…..build overhead, but Abbey’s kit was great…..

Hi:
Along the subject of interiors, can someone go through the issues involved in doing your own interior as the specs of the materials to be used, fireproofing that sort of thing. Is there any reference material or websites that cover the issues.
Thanks
Mark

I’ll work on getting some pictures, somehow I’ve managed to forget doing that part.
As for the soundproofing, I opted for the material Flightline interior sells and it seems to work very well.
On the headliner, I sprayed the contact cement about 2 feet wide and completely front to back on the aft part of the cabin top and on a similar area of the fabric. It stuck great and then I just sprayed the rest of the area on each side and spread out the fabric. The only part I’m not real keen on was they sent some 3/8”-ish foam that is to go over the rivets to let the fabric lay nicer. It mostly causes a bulged area above the longerons so I’d give that process some more thought before doing it again. I suspect you could leave it out altogether without the rivets being too apparent.
For the forward part of the cabin (above the front seats) I took some foam board from the craft store (about 3/16 thick with poster board on each side) and made a form that fit between all the moldings. Then wrapped that with the fabric and glued it to the roof. It actually was very easy and turned out pretty nice.

Hi Rene
I am envious. It must be great to be so close to being in the air.
Who provided your interior? I noticed that the windows had a very clean looking trim ring. Do you have any other pictures of the windows showing more detail of the trim?
Thanks

I don’t have any other pictures. I got my interior form Abbey (Flightline , http://www.flightlineinteriors.com/). She sells the trim in 10 foot sections, it is just glued on with contract cement. She has other options, some not on her web site, that really help to “finish” the interior. I also got stick covers and center pieces for the back seats.

No fighting over seats. It also helps with the idea that this is a long term investment……….who would want to buy an airplane with someone else’s name on it……

Rene,
Thanks for the interior photos. I have a question about your retract seatbelts.
I cobbled together some retract belts that actually worked great (including Dial Release) but they were quite heavy ~4 Lbs each.
Can I ask where you purchased your retracts, and about what they weigh?
Grumpy also has a nice set of retracts and I believe Chris created a set of 3 point retracts in his plane.
Thanks,
Robin

Here is where I got the belts…….

I don’t know how much they weighted…but I don’t think it was 4 Lbs a piece.
I am sure David knows…..
