Interior Wing Closeout

[TJ_Slice]

I've been thinking about an alternative to fabric for the interior wing closeout. With the possibility of going with cies fuel senders, I most likely will eliminate the sight tubes.

I have been doing some preliminary modeling and 3D design. Ideally, I would like to have 2 lemo plugs and 2 air vents on each closeout panel. Possibly some cabin lights and recesses to hold headset controllers and excess wire.

My idea is for a panel that snaps into place on the fuselage tubing. I am really in the spitball phase of thinking about this, and just have something to do while I recover from shoulder surgery.

I'd love to see any alternatives to fabric that anyone has done.

I took some .016 trimmed it to fit inside, painted an riveted. This is my LSA

I am going to use Kydex material. Heavier than Al for sure...

How are you planning on attaching it?

TJ_Slice I think I will be using Adel type clamps without the cushions

Hi, I made mine from aluminium covered with fabric. C7C26201-9E53-4CFF-BDD8-021D94E9589F.jpg C7E12BC5-3516-4CE8-B542-1BDC40550097.jpg

Looks nice. What did you do to hold the attachment screws?
