Hey Lee, I see that you didn't get a quick response. I would not mess with the
edge distance on the HT frame as it is a "more" structural part. Your best bet
is to squeeze those extra mms out of a new piece of standard L.
Having said that I have noticed that in a few places in the Zenith photoguide that
there are compromised edge distances (on the end of a couple of pieces).
Hope this helps.

Hi Listers,
What is your preferred way of attached whatever material (leather etc) you have
choose to, for example, the sides of the cabin? And for those who have been
flying with it for a while any comments on how that lasted against the usual amount
of abuse that the cabin receives?
Any photos would be appreciated.
Cheers
James

Hi James,
My plan is to leave bare metal on cabin sides and similar areas. Any extra
materials in those places serves two purposes - changing the natural
appearance and reducing noise. These extra materials also add weight which
is very costly in terms of utility of our craft which are severely limited
in maximum gross weight.
I am happy to live with bare metal apparence, and I have learned that the
new ANL headsets do an incredibly good job at eliminating noise of all
sorts. I'm quite sure the weight penalty for use of a fancy headset is
trivial compared to a bunch of upholstery on the cabin walls.

James,
I made upholstery panels with an aircraft grade plastic corrugated board
covered with a thin aircraft grade foam sheet and fabric, all from Airtex
(Airtexinteriors.com). I added vertical strips of L angle to the fuselag
e upright angles and placed strips of Velcro on those angles and horizonta
l strips of Velcro on the panels. It was very easy to install and they ar
e easily removable for access to "stuff" that is behind them. On the forw
ard panels, I placed the Velcro directly on the inside of the fuselage ski
n and filled in between the angles with fabric panels. Questions?

James,
I cut several pieces of 1X2 lumber about 2 inches long and glued them to the
skins. Then a small wood screw thru the panels into the wood.

For those who never plan to remove the panels (although I don't necessarily
recommend that), Airtex also sells an adhesive that can be used to bond the
panels directly to the aircraft. That's pretty much the standard way it's done
for certificated aircraft, when using their panels.
I've used it a number of times, with good results. I'm a little surprised
Airtex hasn't offered Zenith panels.

James-
I used V+S 1081 Spray Trim Adhesive available from ACS to attach sound
insulation. I don't think it looks too bad (Picture attached) and you kill
two birds with one stone.

Here is another idea. I used some extra 6061 to make the side panels. Then
I glued Naugahyde to the aluminum. The panels are held on with Velcro for
easy removal and tucked up under the upper longeron cap. Picture attached.
