Wrinkly flat panels

I saw a set of rollers with the corrugation profiles in them, and the 2024 was 'simply' hand cranked between them. Once
you have the rollers is should be pretty easy, but getting the rollers...

They crank out roof gutters from the back of vans on the building site, maybe someone knows someone who has an old
gutter rig...

ala TriMotor - corrugations

I kind of like the idea of corregations. Any ideas on how to accomplish them?

thanks,
tom

Why not just buy a better headset? That ought to take care of any noise
from the sheetmetal and it won't add a bunch of weight and potential for
hidden corrosion to form under the deadening material.

I thought this discussion was about a bush plane? All of the serious
bush pilots that I know strip all of that crap OUT of their airplanes if
possible.

I thought it was about a Zodiac, but i've been wrong before...

But a Bush plane with rattle padding?


File under Hard Lessons Learned:

How important it is - and how hard it is -
to keep excess weight OUT of an airplane.

Temper foam is a great example.

This is for sure and certain the most comfortable stuff imaginable
short of free fall,

but the WEIGHT!

Padding a pair of bucket seats can add 30 pounds to the empty weight
of the airplane.

Ed Heineman would tell it loud and clear...
Simplacate rather than complicate.
Add lightness rather than heaviness.

Could have sworn they was talking about a CH701 STOL.

I was talking about a CH701 rear fuselage. I agree that you should lighten
and simplify whenever possible. One reason not to do anything is that the
panels make quite a racket as buffeting occurs near stall. Maybe this is just
another genius of Chris Heinz?

thanks everybody for the discussion
