I finally have the upholstery and carpet on order for my RV-6A but it will
take a couple months to get here. In the meantime, since I'd made templates
for everything I decided to take some carpet scraps and make some temporary
pieces to put under my feet and soak up some noise and vibration. I cut the
pieces into 4 strips and they fit snugly between the stiffeners on the
floor. But, since it's only temporary I have NOT fastened them down with
any kind of glue or tape. The carpet doesn't slide around when I get in or
out of the airplane but I haven't flown it this way yet. Am I tempting fate
by not sticking these down. Anyone have experience with this? Thanks.

Dean:
I have an interior done by flighine interiors. It includes some foam
that is placed between the floor stiffeners. What I did was to adhere
the floor carpet to these pieces of foam and then rely on the snug fit
of the foam between the stffeners to keep everthing down on the
floor. Has worked very well in 4 years of flying. I was concerned
about adhering anything to the floor permanently should there ever be
a brake fluid or fuel leak.

Dean,
When I installed carpet in my RV about 9.5 years ago, I cut it where it was
more or less a press fit. It was rigid enough to almost snap in place. I
figured it would be nearly impossible for anyone to shift it around. But I
was wrong. Passengers exiting the aircraft tend to push the carpet forward
and bunch it up under the rudder pedals. I recommend a couple of strips of
double sided carpet tape per piece of carpet. Put the tape near the main
spar and the carpet probably won't move for a long time.

My Classic Aero Carpet has the sound proofing foam glued to the back of
it and it fits tight and no glue or velcro is needed.
