It's the same radio as the Narco Com11 so they say. The radio transmissions are received "loud and clear". The intercom is crystal clear front and back seats. Radio checks reveal "you're loud and clear" but they sound like they are coming through a mile long pipe .... clear but very weak. The Avionics Place at Rockford airport is getting good response on their bench with their test equipment for both xmit/receive. The problem is in the aircraft wiring somewhere. Any ideas, hunches, experiences that solved such a problem? Can anyone email an extract of the install manual? My thanks to all on this List, Jerry ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 07:12:48 AM PST US From: "Kyle Boatright" Subject: Re: RV-List: Carpeting The Cabin Side of Firewall? I make carpet for a living (OK, I'm an engineer for the world's largest carpet manufacturer)... I don't think carpet is suitable for that application. There is the potential for too much heat, too close. Carpet isn't designed for the temperatures you would get on the cockpit side of a firewall where there is a fire on the other side. Besides, carpet is heavy. If you're looking for insulation against noise and heat, you'll do better with a purpose designed product. Just my $0.02.

A number of certified aircraft use an insulated blanket on the firewall. They have to contend with the flammability requirements for firewall materials. The burn specs for material in contact with the firewall is different than materials used on sidewalls and seats. It's not super stringent, just a step up. Of course we don't technically have to follow that but it's something to consider when choosing the material, whether insulation or carpet. I'm sure there's wool carpeting out there that meets the firewall spec. That said, the challenge would be getting around all the firewall penetrations and structure. I think a lot of folks use the aluminum backed insulation to piece it together and secure it with aluminum tape. With carpet, you'd want it removable in the event of a brake fluid leak or such. If you're up to it there's no reason not to.
