Brief Description: Section 33, installed more carpet, plus heater
|
|
Section 33, interior assembly, installed more carpet, plus heater. I carpeted under the seats and up front under the nose more, so no unfinished fiberglass would be seen from the seats. I also gave aluminum that would be seen under there a coat of primer grey. To me, any raw aluminum tubes lends itself to an unfinished or amateur look.
I installed a heater, using heater hose I had laid under the carpet at the beginning of the build. I cut an L-bracket the right size, then bent the edges in a way that would point the heater up a bit, then attached the heater to the bracket, and the bracket to the wooden hull stringers. I've seen other installations in which an extra bracket runs from the heater's top, to the cockpit tubing, and I started making that bracket, until I decided I won't like how it looks, and I don't want to block any of the airflow anyway, so I secured it with extra brackets around the wooden stringers.
