Interior panels.

[Greg5972]

I am in the process of making wallpanel sets for my Pa-20. Does anybody know what thickness coroplast airtex uses??

I will check some today.

I didn't know Airtex was using coroplast like I did! As far as I know it is 3/16" thick.

Is Coroplast legal to use in an aircraft interior? If so I might use it myself!

I ran across an interesting article about that matter some time ago. I will try to find it and get back to you.

I measured my Airtex interior from my Clipper and it was about .090".

For those who'd like to see my seats. I had a quote of $1350 for all four seats and he couldn't do them before Spring. Louise then remembered me that she had a good old Pfaff 230 and that I would be able to make our new seats.

Good grief! I though, but once I figured out that wonderful machine, it became a second nature in no time. There we go...and oh yes, the total cost of the material was around $125 bucks. Again, don't count your time if you want to take that road. You will redo every piece several times! All that took about 3 weeks but it was in my dreams when I was sleeping.

Easiest way to get a pattern is to take a seam ripper and take your old ones apart. I do marine canvas and have 2 -1/2 horse sewing machines i bought from a shoe factory that went out of business for $50 each. I had to make a phase converter for one as it is 3 phase.

Ok Ill have to make that next years project. I can get a machine from my buddy who is a Skydiveing rigger for the sewing which should do the job. Was hoping i could work on them while still flying.
