Posted: Mon Jul 17, 2006 4:17 pm Post subject: Headliner before cabin cover riveting? |
|
|
I am at point in the plans where it says to rivet the cabin cover on, but I was waiting till OSH to go see about interior upholstery (probably from Flightline). In the archives there is chat about installing the headliner before installing the cabin cover. Is putting the headliner in a big enough deal that I should wait before riveting the structure together, or just one of those things that is nice to do if you have the chance? (Sure would be nice to get the structures part of the project out of the way to move onto FWF and systems goodies.)

It would be easiest to install the headliner before you put the canopy
on. Plan ahead though and don't glue the lower 2 or 3" and leave a
few inches extra that will go below the canopy top and trim it all
later. The only catch is, while it's easier to do the headliner
later, that will assume you have the interior cabin top painted
already in the non-covered areas. And some of those areas around the
doors may need to be filed down in the future to make the doors fit
better. So, you may end up with some rework around the doors on
your paint unless you either get lucky, or have it all together
enough to know your doors are all ready to go.

Has anybody uncovered a way to finish off the edges of the headliner
where they meet the windows and other surfaces, so there's not just a
cut edge?

I did mine after puting the canopy top on. It seems that you don't gain
much one way or the other. Regarding the edges, I sewed (yeah!) figure-8
cross-section molding strips and glue them in place using the same headline
material. Most folks just fold the edges under, including hundreds of
airplanes I looked at during one SNF.

I believe Toni Sustare, the guy with the overhaed console, has or is building window trim pieces for the 10. I'm guessing he will be at Ashkosh this year, he was at Sun-N-Fun. I've gotten lucky, I hope, and found a custom car upholstery guy who also does planes and he will be building a frame around my windows to be covered.

I bought a headliner that came with 1/4" of foam backing. Cut and peeled away the foam backing near the edge about 1" back, folded the fabric over and used a 3M L1300 (?) glue. I am pretty happy with the look.

My wife did our headliner and she used piping around the window frames and
edges. She glued in the piping (covered with the same headliner fabric)
around the windows and then folded the edge under and glued it up next to
the piping.
