I?m going to install some Soundex installation and now is the time.
No problem insulating the aft side of the firewall as I?ve removed the foreskin to provide access to the panel and electrical wiring. The firewall is accessible. No problem also with the forward fuselage sides.
However, while insulating below the forward cabin floor panels (F-1050 L&R) would be desirable, I can see no way this is possible on a QB given those panels were installed at the factory. Those panels have flanges on three sides, have a gear weldment brace on them and are anchored on the front to the firewall. I can see no way to insulate this area except to lay some insulation on top of these panels and beneath the carpet. Comments? Is there another way?
Would appreciate comments or ideas from anyone that has installed any kind of insulation in the forward fuselage area of a RV-10 to include the firewall, side panels, and floor panels.
If you?ve used the Soundex product would appreciate those comments as well.
Thanks, Jerry
