Hey Everyone,
Starting to think about carpet...
What has everyone been doing? Can you just go out and look for
lightweight carpet or is there a special 'aircraft grade carpet'?
Thanks!

Don,
As the manufacturer I guess you can use what ever you like. There is
aircraft grade carpet that must be used in certified aircraft. One of the
main characteristics is it's fireproof.

Automotive upholstery shops often sell synthetic upholstery/carpeting that's supposed
to be flame retardent. That's what I've used.

The carpeting in certified aircraft is fire resistant not fire proof. It
won't support flame by itself, but it will burn. Throw it in a gasoline or
avgas fire and it will burn/melt or some combination of the above just like
the aluminum the rest of the plane is made of. Shops that sell upholstery
to automotive and aircraft shops will sell it to you. Just stop by a shop
listed in your local yellow pages and ask them where they get their
materials. Much of the commercial automotive grade stuff meets the fire
ratings. They may even have a cutoff or end of a roll big enough for your
application dirt cheap.

I brought home samples of light weight carpets AND a chunk of "yellow
tagged" aviation approved stuff (that was heavy...ugh). I subjected them all
to my own burn test and found that all of them would support a flame as long
as there is a source to keep it going (a match, a propane torch, etc.) but
if you remove the ignition source, they all went out and would not support a
flame by themselves. I chose one of the light weight versions,.....works
for me!

Thanks for the answers on the floor rivets. It seems that the general feeling
is to pull the rivets from the bottom. Jack Russell

I got some carpet from Airtex (215 295-4115) that "meets or exceeds FAR
23.853". I thought it was a pretty good price, nice quality and very light.
