Brian

Thanks for the great write up on your interior from Abby and the great folks at Fightline. She fabed my seats to my notion of what looked good.



My fabric has the following rating info......

Texuede SP
CA Bulletin 117 Class 1
UFAC - Class 1
(Can be Treated to meet FAR Specifications)

OH NO......do mine meet FAR SPECS......

Goodness my whole RV7A according to the good folks at FAA HD....dosen't meets FAA SPECS

Now if I can just finish the last 120 details this under FAA Speced aircraft might get in the AIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Frank @ 1L8 ...RV7A... last 120 details.......will it never end

Your correct, never being one that wants to mislead anyone I did check. But first I must say that this is experimental aviation. The builder is the one who should research any components, materials, and that includes advice someone may be providing him or her for their build. It is up to them to decide if the before mentioned items meet their standards.

I have discussed this with Abby and you should be aware that her materials meet the following standards:

ASTM E-84 Class I
CAL 117-E
MVSS 302
UFAC Class I

and for about $30 you can treat your seats with Flame Stop I-DS which meets or exceeds FAR 25.853.

Now before you go and spend an hour responding with all the minor details of each of these certs, please don't waste your time because I could care less. I am happy with my seats just the way they are.

Abby is upfront and honest as they come. Her sample cards have the certifications written right on them. The builder can decide for themselves.

The meaning of EXPERIMENTAL is supposed to afford you the choices that you make in your build. This argument could cover a myriad of things i.e.: engine, prop and all the way down to nuts and bolts for small things that aren't in compliance with the Federal Aviation Regulations.

Abby Writes "The choices in materials are all for flammability, durability and last but not least Affordability. It's things like this that have had me on search for all of these things wrapped into one and can also be covered under FAR 25.83. This is not an easy thing, when it comes to material choices. It can be very limiting. If it weren't an EXPERIMENTAL this would not even be a question."

Brian,

Very nice indeed! I had a hard time choosing on my interior, Abby does great work for sure. DJ at Cleaveland actually ended up with the job and the interior is also very sweet!
