Thanks Bob, Wayne,
That was my reason due to a back seat installation.

Mine is just Velcro'd to the back of the bulkhead. A little harder to put
in
place...but not big deal if you work from one side to the other and then
Velcro across the floor. I can't remember if I used contact cement on top
of
the built in peel off strips on my Velcro. I have bulk rolls that is
indeed
original Velcro brand...not an aftermarket rip off paying royalties (or at
least they should be) to the patent holder. Spray cans of 3M contact
cement
work well (the first time U use them anyhow) or just use the little glass
bottle and brush for a nice coating....and on the curtain part peel off
strips and a few staples here and there if I remember right....and it
hasn't
fallen off. Howard's has as Bob has pointed out to...a strip riveted to
the
back of the bulkhead that extends inboard about an inch to pick up the
Velcro and cone plug material. Makes for easier installation and a better
push to fasten.

Mine is an extra bulkhead back due to the extra seats I have and we just
moved Robert's back in his Elite too. Come one Bob...where's your sales
campain....the Rebel flies so well Bob you can just get out of your seat
and
go retrieve anything you need from WAY back there!! LOL ;O)

Hi Mike !

Flange direction doesn't matter - most just rivet a strip
of .025 aluminum all around the flange, leaving about 1" exposed
to attach the Velcro to ... add spacers if necessary....

If you go one bulkhead back, you might get into C of G
problems.... Also, it's hard to turn around and grab something
from the back, if it trickles down to the rear ... ;-)

Thinking about drinks and desserts for the in-flight meals
we are served on long Rebel flights .... ;-) The hostess is
marvelous company ! Of course, after meals, she resumes duty
as Navi-Guess, (navig-ess ??), and co-pilot. ;-)

Speaking of dogs in planes, what do you guys do for hearing protection. We
have an old dog that is deaf now, so it isn't a problem, but some day will
have a new one, and wondering if anyone has found any ear muffs or something
that will stay on that will do the trick.

Hi Ken Instead of a curtain on my plane I cut a peice of corplast (sp?) to
fit then covered that with foam. a couple peices of velcro top and bottom
keep it in place most of the time. After my dog decided to push through it
I made a spider web of cord through the stamping holes in the bulkheads
behind it to keep it from falling backwards. I bought a 4x4 sheet at home
depot for about $5 but you could save some money right now by just stealing
an election sign. ;)

Actually I have several ideas but they are proving to be too expensive
or too hard to obtain in reasonable quantities.

thanks
Ken

baggage curtain fastener

G'day

I am a firm believer in keeping things simple!

I just cut four pieces of soft wood to fit inside the bulkheads and placed
them close to the corners and secured them using two wood screws into each
piece.

Then I got a piece of thin plywood (maybe 1/8") and shaped this to fit
around the outer edge of the bulkhead. I made sure that this was close
fitting to the sides, roof and floor.

The plywood was then covered with upholsterers foam which again is about
1/8 thick. It was a simple matter to use spray adhesive to attach it.

I then secured the plywood to the wood that was fitted in the bulkheads with
four countersunk wood screws and cup washers.

The whole time for the job? Maybe an hour and a half, and if I say so it
looks pretty good!

regards

Ian Donaldson
