Finishing the RV-10's headliner and ceiling can be a pain, I know. With no great kits out there other than to just glue some fabric, it is hard to really finish it off nice. I think one of the nicest finishing jobs is Debbie Dewey's plane. She did a great job.
Debbie's ceiling upholstry. She used a GM overhead console.
Just thought I would share one idea that I came up with for lights. I wanted lights on the front and back that were white and then some red LED's for my panel. I have four dimmers on my panel. (front floor, rear floor, switches, glair shield). The white lights I used are manufactured by Whelen. They are expensive but are very low profile. They worked great on my floor but could have used something cheaper on my ceiling. The red LED?s were purchased from Stein Air here .
I wanted a system that could hold my two red LED's, my white LED's and cover the four bolts that attach the front steel brace. I also wanted the installation to look clean. I found these plastic boxes at Radio Shack for electronics and cut them down about 1/2 inch. This box had about the right width and length. I rough cut a hole for the light and installed a brace on the inside to screw it into the roof. The two holes on the front are for my red LED's.
