Thanks for the update, Wayne. I was wondering when you'd get some new pics
up. Hopefully the avionics job won't pinch you too bad! -- Ben C-172 - N13258 @ 87Y |

The largest airplane supply company in the country...your local TrueValue hardware store. Coming to think about it, though, I have not personally run a flame test on the stuff, so you may want to get a square foot of it (they sell it by the running foot off a huge roll) and burn it yourself. Jim Jim, If it is the Reflectix Insulation, the mfg had done flammability tests http://www.reflectixinc.com/testingind.asp I will have to try to correlate the ASTM test data to FAA test to see if it is suitable as a replacement for the fiberglass insulation in our Cessna 177b. |

It looks like it it/was a twin to mine, except we don't have the 'Cessna' lettering on the nose. It's a '63 172D right? Also, interesting to see the original panel. Ours has been modified somewhat, resulting in a bit of a hodge-podge look. -- Frank....H |

Margy used some stuff we ordered from Aircraft Spruce when she redid the headliner in the Navion. Dirt cheap, and still a whole lot better than the fiberglas stuff. Looked more like carpet padding than bubble wrap. |
