RV-10 Interior

I know this maybe should be in the interior section but it is only relevant to the RV-10 group.

Can any of you out there share your personal experience of who you used to do the seat upholstery for the RV-10.

Please share your dislikes along with your likes.

This does not have to be public!! You can PM me privately so no one gets flamed....I need to make a decision on who to use.

Please dont just say I like so and so. I need to know why and especially if you have used more than 1 vendor!.

Thanks.

We used Classic Aero Designs---and we are very happy with the results---but they stopped doing RV 10 stuff, and I do not know if they are going to start doing them again.

I would check with them if you are interested.
 
We used Flightline. Very pleased and delivered as promised. Everything fit first try. Ordered items later on and recieved goods promptly. Could not recommend more highly. I'm not an expert on upholstery but certainly met our goals.

I got some leather from Tandy Leather warehouse. If you search though thier stuff you will find that some of it is upholstery grade. I had my local upholstrey shop sew them up.

Custom

Bought my leather separately from aircraft leather/carpet vendor, had a local upholstery specialist make the covers. Came out awesome, exactly what I wanted. Cons- more $ and time and effort. Also had him do some matching interior panels, glareshield, etc.

You already have your front seat foams...

Take your front seats/rear seat backs to local upholstery shop. Pick out your color/colors in cloth, vinyl, faux leather or real leather. Do your business with your local people, they will appreciate it. Not many get to do airplanes...mostly cars, trucks, boats, rv's, race cars, motorcyles, etc.

My local upholstery guy came out to my house from 7:30-10:00 last night to talk to my wife and I and take some measurements. He has done a few plane interiors and I have personally seen one on a turbine powered Lancair.

I have already painted interior gray so all I will have them do is the seats for now..$668 for fire resistant cloth. I really don't care if they meet FAR ratings...if my seats catch on fire I am done for anyway. Smoking will not be allowed in my plane. Besides you have 100 lbs of fiberglass reinforced PLASTIC around the engine and above our heads that is not fire resistant.

Expect to pay about double for leather.
