Wow, what a great resource this forum is!
I bought a Monowheel a year ago. The interior trim and apholstery is somewhat scruffy at this stage and so I was thinking of redoing it. I would really like to hear what the forum thinks about the way to go.
While I would like to do a deluxe finish with sound proofing under the apholstery etc, but realize that takes up space and adds weight. So what would you recommend as a good compromise? I would also love to see some pictures to see what is possible?
On a different subject, I remember someone mentioning that they rig and de-rig their Monowheel by themselves. Could you shed some light on what sort of equipment you use to do this solo?
Regards,
Glenn Perry (G-DLCB)

Good luck with your research.

I have a Trigear, which stands upright on it's own, but I guess you'll need dollies, which can be tilt to rig the wings solo anyway. I rig before every flight http://www.airport-data.com/aircraft/PH-ZTI.html

Glenn, I did my plane with2mm foam in the front half, covered with Alcantara - all attached with spray on rubber glue. The panel and the rear half (seat back backwards) were spray painted with durable matt paint in matching colour. The foam was aimed at a bit of noise reduction and thermal insulation. It has all worked well and worn very well. Alcantara is a sort of synthetic, washable suede, which the guy who sold it to me informed me was fitted to Maserati dashboards! I avoided heavy upholstery and went for removable (hence adjustable) cushions, which were somewhat modified matching coloured cushions from an old Citroen car found in a scrapyard. The same car provided the carpets, which I had nicely edged by an upholsterer. Picture attached.
