I'm  getting to the point in my construction (about to join the  

forward and mid-fuse) where I've got to make considerations for the  

best installation of the interior... which will most likely be one  

from Flightline.  How are the side panel and floor coverings  

attached?  If an adhesive is used, is it safe to put directly on to  

alclad, or do you suggest some kind of a primer to go down first?



To date I've done very little priming, but I am considering putting  

something down inside the cabin as it's a likely place for spills  

(I've got little ones... and a wife that will not travel without  

coffee).



  Are there specific areas that will not be covered by the interior  

kit that I will need to paint?



Is there anything that those of you who have gone before would like  

to have done at an earlier stage when access was easier?

The Flightline Interior side panels go on with a combination  of screws and velcro. 

  

 I installed the Flightline Interior on my RV-10, but after the  install I suggested to Abby that certain modifications be made to her  design.  Abby is great to work with, and when you order if you specifically  request certain things she will do it the way you desire.  I really like  the interior she provided.

  

 If Abby has not yet incorporated some of my suggestions  into her pattern for the RV-10 interior, I would suggest that you request  that Abby:

  

 1.    NOT sew the carpet portion of the side  panels that cover the outside rear passenger footwell (goes on with  velcro) to the fiberboard side panel (which goes on with screws) and covers  the side panel from in front of the pilot's seat to the rear of the  door.

  

 2.    Provide a split in the tunnel cover  carpet at the point the rudder cables exit the tunnel, down to the  floor, so that the tunnel cover carpet can be removed without disengaging  the rudder cables.

  

 3.    Provide a split in the tunnel cover  carpet from the bottom of the pilot's seat belt attachment mount on  the tunnel side wall, to the floor of the rear passenger footwell, so that the  tunnel cover carpet can be removed without removing the seat belt attachment  bolts.

My entire side carpet and trim piece below the door is secured with

velcro strips for no-screw removal.  Abby can get you long rolls

of velcro in a cost effective way if you want to use it to secure

some of the panels.

I don't believe she cuts the holes for the rudder cables, so

this would be something that the builder could do, to cut a

slit to make this work.

This one wouldn't be a bad mod at all.  Ideally you could have

the rear carpet be a little longer, and the front carpet

have a nicely trimmed seam that overlaps the rear by a couple

inches.  I'll mention this to her too.  Sure is nice though

that there's so little to complain about with her stuff. 



As for the areas to paint, there isn't much.  You probably

want to paint your door posts, and basically a couple

inches or so around all of the openings, in case an edge gets

exposed, and at the gusset area by the aft corners of the

windshield.  You may want to paint your glareshield, even if

you plan to cover it later.  You may want to paint the

forward ribs and walls from about the air vents forward.

You'll want to paint the seat pedestals and especially the

face where the stick comes out, and all the brackets

associated with the seats and seat belts.  On the rear

seats, you may want to paint the hinge areas.



Beyond that, I don't personally know how bad the corrosion

would be if you got wet carpeting and had it covering

plain alclad.  Personally, I Akzo epoxy primed all of the

lower interior to seal it, but YMMV.  On the cabin top I

also sanded lightly and sprayed some areas with a

paint/primer/sealer mix...not much, but just to give a good

gluing surface that was less porous for around the edges.

I echo Tim's comments.

  

 I put in Abby's interior back in June and am totally satisfied with  it.  I did my own cutting so that I can remove the tunnel carpet easily as  mentioned below.

  

 Abby has been a supreme pleasure to work with, and she will do most any mod  you want.

  

 She even took a couple of my suggestions so you guys should be seeing them  in her standard kits.

  

 She even made a very nice leather cover for the center support bracket with  velcro so that it can be removed if necessary, and her dash mat fits very  nicely, especially after I glued some 1/8 inch foam underneath it.
