I am getting a significant draft in the back seat from the channels on the bulkhead at the aft end of the baggage compartment. What has been used to seal the gaps created by the corrugated grooves?

Thanks
Frank

I have an interior from Abbey at Flightline. Part of the kit is a cover
that goes over the bulkhead and extends to the cabin wall. It limits the
amount of air that gets through.

Do you have your door seals on yet? If not, that will probably make the difference.

I filled them with RTV, left it a little proud, covered the edge of the bulkhead with clear tape so that the RTV would not stick to the frame, and then installed the bulkhead and let the RTV cure.

I have the 4 vents that are built from the plans plus the 4 vents in the overhead console. I have the mcmastercarr seal that seals up all around the doors. Sometimes I wonder where all the air is going or if it is pressurizing the cabin:). It might be nice to have those open so there is somewhere for the air to go. Built in outflow valves. Maybe I'm crazy. I guess in the winter it would be nice to close them up. The tail has all the holes but I sealed up most in the forward fuselage.

I used a sheet of 1/2 inch foam rubber treated with fire retardant and glued it to the back of the 2 removable bulkhead pieces.

Solved the problem for me.

Got my foam from Flightline Interiors.

The doors are sealed. I have the 4 fuse vents, plus 4 overhead vents. I have plenty of airflow in the summer. At altitude, and during the winter the cold air from the tail cone is flowing aggressively past the rear baggage bulkhead. This is the corrugated structure.

Looks like 1/2 inch foam is the probable solution.

Thanks
Frank

I sealed off aileron pushrod openings, wing spar openings, still need to do baggage bulkhead and elevator pushrod at rear spar.
