Hi Frank-
Funny you should ask. Just a few months ago we did a kit for Tom (Stockton
Flight Center). He is building a RV-7 and I have a customer in Bakersfield
who is bringing us the body of his RV-10 in July.
The materials we use are aircraft certified and will make a hugh difference
in the cabin noise and temperatures. We are in the process of building an
ABS molded firewall for the RV-7 to stop the noise and heat. The firewall
will fit over the setback "hump" in the firewall. We are also looking to
build a rear Bulkhead cover with the word "Experimental RV-7" in raised
letters.
The material we use is approximately 3/4 inches thick and will have a
thermal value of R-36.3. These material will take up to 1500 degrees of
heat. The kits are pre-cut to fit between the ribs of the body and each
space between the ribs will have a small piece of Dynamat to stop body skin
vibration. Typically in our auto applications we get a 50 percent reduction
in noise and we would expect to see the same result in an aviation setting.
The cabin temperatures should also be greatly stabilized.
We would to do a number of these kits before we launch the AERO side of the
business.
I have attached photos of the RV-7 project.

I read about your product today in the Record. I and numerous other members
of the Experimental Aviation Association build aircraft from kits (some metal
some fiberglass or composite).
I was curious as to whether your product is adaptable to aircraft cabin
insulation, it must be light in weight and provide sound proofing.
Additionally there is also need for a firewall (between the engine & cabin)
for sound proofing material that is also fire resistant.
Examples of kit aircraft that would use the product are seen at:
http://www.vansaircraft.com
I am building an RV-10 aircraft from Vans Aircraft.
I would like to explore the feasibility of using your product within the cabin
area of the aircraft.
Do you have specification for our various products such as: weight per square
foot; sound proofing ability in Decibels of reduction; and amount of fire
protection (resistance to heat in degrees F or Celsius) that information would
be useful.
Let me know if you are interested in exploring this potential new product line
of providing cabin sound proofing and firewall protection for experimental
aircraft builders.
