When would you ever need to use spray foam insulation in an airplane and why would you ever use it? I've never seen it used in any airplane that was professionally built after 1903 - not even in Poland.

Not a thing I own is stock.
Maybe for creating a cowl or plenum mold shape, but that's about it.

Built an off-plan RV9A with too much fuel and too much HP. Should drop dead any minute now.
Expanding polyurethane foam was not mentioned here, but we have seen a few builders promoting the idea of using it under the front floor of an RV-10. A good prebuy will probably find similar in other models too.
