Tim,
What final fabric or material did you use for your headliner? Did you worry
about fire retardant material? How did you finish the edges around the
windows, etc. I am looking for materials now since I am about to attach my
canopy.

Not Tim but....
I am using a light gray fabric (Marathon Collection Gray Mix) from Abby
at Flightline Interiors <http://my.execpc.com/~erdmannb/index.htm>. The
material is flame resistant. The specs say:
Flame Resistance
ASTM E-84 Class 1
CAL 117-E Passes
MVSS 302 Passes
UFAC Class 1
Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (MVSS) Flamability Test #302
Every yard of Marathon production receives the superior flame retardant
(FR) finish so it passes the MVSS 302 FR test which makes it suitable
for automotive aftermarket and transportation applications.
For the window edge treatment Abby's instructions say:
"The edge around the windows will need to be trimmed with a utility
knife or razor blades. To finish the edges you can use a hot soldering
iron to seal and smooth it. This will also prevent any fraying. We
recommend sealing the edge above the baggage door too."

All of those fabrics she sells should be at least flame resistant
to some point. Probably none of them are aviation certified,
but you can make your own judements on what's acceptable in
that regard. Sometimes it's just an on-paper certification
difference, sometimes maybe it's not.
But, just like Larry said, I soldered the edges with a fine-tip
iron.

Ahn used a molding around the windshield and windows as you can see on
his web site <http://www.geocities.com/anhvu_rv10/Fuselage3.html>
Ahn, do you have any details?

Tim, Which fabric did you choose and why did you prefer fabric over the foam
backed headliner material?

I visited Anh's Rv10 a couple of months ago. He has a very nice fabric on his headliner (I forgot the name). I think he also has a closed cell foam behind it. Not sure of the thinkness.
Anh did all of his sewing on the interior. He even did his seats. Beautiful work. He even made a cell phone pocket on the side of his seats! Pretty cool.

Ahn,
How did you do your headliner - looks great! How did you trim the edges?
What foam/sound insulation did you use under the fabric, if any?
