Here is a good thread with lots of info, including a picture of an RV-10 belly: this thread.

.002 or .005 SS foil can be bought from McMaster Carr in rolls 24" wide. I used the .002 on mine with Fiberfrax from Spruce.

I used the 24" wide strips. Only had one seam.

Eric, I installed a but of sound proofing and honestly it wasn't worth it. Noise cancelling headphones do a better job than anything you could install. The weight and effort (and cost) weren't worth it. In fact, any time I open a cavity with it I pull it out. Fire suppression is different matter though.

Default Point of reminder

A local RV-6 that caught fire during run up when the copper primer line broke melted the pilots shoe bottoms to the floor in just a minute or so besides melting every wire and hose fw forward.
