This can be added via the lightening holes on the aft side of the floor so you don't have to remove the panel. In the rear seat and baggage compartment I used closed cell foam. Having said that I am not convinced that it is worth it. For heat insulation you need to focus on the firewall and tunnel. Most of the noise in the airplane comes from the air vents, followed by engine. I doubt the floor insulation does much. As stated in the earlier response this is the time to figure your electrical routing, i.e., conduit and big cable runs. Under the floor is a good place for this, in particular thru the baggage compartment. Don't forget electrical and antenna runs to the wings which will pass via the center section fuselage. Consider adding conduit from front to aft of the baggage bulkhead, conduit from front to each wing opening, and front to the center section (for things like flap motor, rear seat headphones, and antenna cable). -------- Dave Moore RV-6 flying RV-10 QB - flying Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=401965#401965 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 09:50:33 PM PST US Subject: RV10-List: Re: Quick Build Fuselage Advice From: "AirMike" I affirm what Dave Moore said...."run lots of the conduit now." Excellent advice. I also put in an inspection plate (2) for the boarding step WHEN it loosens (which it will). It is also a good idea to put it in just for corrosion inspections. There is an excellent and ultra light insulation that I found at OSH. I also have the heavy - foil backed fiberglass on the cowl and firewall. I never had the tunnel heat issue. My tunnel is NOT insulated. I found that the fuel lines are a real pain, so I bought the Bonaco kit - excellent choice and saved me a lot of swearing. I have nothing but kuddos for the Vans QB kit that was delivered to me in 2007. -------- See you OSH '13 Q/B - flying 3 yrs.

There are three possible upgrades. Putting inspection plate on baggage floor as mentioned, reaming the holes up to AN 4 size, and inserting dowel of wood, or milled aluminum or steel inside the step pipe to prevent the pipe from being distorted by tightening the bolt(with appropriate anti-corrosive treatment). I have done the first two items. On Tue, Jun 4, 2013 at 9:49 PM, AirMike wrote: > > I affirm what Dave Moore said...."run lots of the conduit now." Excellent > advice.
