Interior Door Cover, Part I

The door cover panels are pre-molded by the factory. There’s a hump where the door handle comes through, but figuring out where exactly was a bit challenging, so I ended up needing to close up my first hole a bit. Also, stealing an idea from my buddy Andy, I used left-over foam with a light BID […]

Headset Hook

OK, so it’s not a headliner, but it’s close. Here we stole an idea from the factory, where they’d installed a small bar to hang the headsets from. Pretty slick if you ask me.

Also, unlike the retract version, we should not need access to anything behind the bulkhead in flight (although a push-pull cable has been installed to the fuel shut-off valve). The lower portion of the bulkhead will also form the baggage platform, […]

Glare Shield Fabrication

OBSOLETE – see new section I’m not sure what other folks do for their glare shields, and the directions in the manual are pretty skimpy. What I’ve decided to do is this, I’ll brace the back (it tends to droop) with two aluminum plates that mount to the fuselage just in front of the windscreen, and add […]
