Thank you for your note Jason. I think a wee bit of insulation for next
winter would be nice. In the Moose at least, there's no way to sound
insulate it <grin>. More for looks I guess.

I might not do much, as I really don't want to add too much weight. It's
not a Cirrus--it's a Moose!

Ted,

I'm in the camp that a good quality, thick aviation carpet on the floor is
good enough as heat/sound insulation. I also vote for foil-lined foam
insulation on the inside of the firewall. Not sure insulation on doors and
sidewalls does much on a small plane because a lot of noise comes from the
resonance of the windows and windshield.

My 20 cents (adjusted for inflation),

Finally getting around to adding (or
at least thinking about doing
so--thinking about it counts...right?) sound/heat
insulation to my Moose.



I'm looking at one of three possible approaches. I'm
interested in learning
what others have done, what materials folks used, whether
they are happy
with their choice and what they would do differently next
time.



Thank you all in advance for your input/opinions.



I'm looking at products like:

.

I'm thinking 1/4" to 3/8" (suggestion?) for
thickness. Then I'd most likely
put lightweight indoor-outdoor carpeting on top of this
foam using 3M
adhesive.



Something I can put on with 3M velcro and take out if I
want the extra
weight carrying capacity for more beer <g>.
Yep, can't add too much fancy
stuff because that cuts down on the beer capacity!

Ted,

For what it's worth, I plan to use Reflectix in mine. I haven't used it in
an airplane yet, but have used it in construction and other applications,
and am always amazed at how well it works.

It's basically just 1/4" bubble wrap that is foil faced on both sides.
They claim it reflects 90% of radiated heat. I like that it won't absorb
and hold water, and it is very, very light. I used it inside my basement
walls, and they went from really cold to the touch, to ambient air
temperature... big difference!
