Interior Carpet

Post by Ewalk02 »

What is everyone using for interior carpet? I have some lightweight carpet, what you would find in a car interior, at home and I'm debating whether or not to use it. Does anyone have suggestions for some super lightweight carpet?

"None" comes to mind as super lightweight.

I'm using auto trunk felt. Much lighter than carpeting. Just google it, hundreds of sellers and it's reasonable.

I used the black felt as well. VERY light and sturdy.

I would think the trunk felt wouldn't be very durable for floor carpet. Are you planning to glue it down?

Astroturf, nothing says "class" like fake grass on the floor.

This made me laugh! :D

I used runner material from
Lowes, and it is a lttle heavy.

There are many things that happen really fast when you are
flying an airplane. There is no sense in rushing any of the others.

I would much rather be looking down at the runway, than up at it.

I'm using the trunk felt that came with my kit in the cargo area, and the gray tweed- like carpet with the edges pre-bound, which also came with kit. It all looks pretty good.

I used some extremely lightweight plasitic/rubber floor mat used with custom floor mats. Cut to fit, and then edge sewn. $40

Had a local upolstery shop make the covering for the fuel selector and flight control area. It also velcros to pieces under the seats. Padded carbon look fabric.

...I will say Ozite actually looks like a pretty nice product, although some reviews say it can wear out pretty quickly in the passenger area (of cars).
