Has anyone purchased just a carpet kit for the RV-10? I'm looking for a nice, drop in kit, something that will cover the tunnel (standard layout) and all floors including the baggage area. Not just floor mats.

I know I can get carpet from Airtex and do it myself, but I was hoping to find something alittle more drop in.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Talk with Luke Doughton luked(at)classic.aero at Classic Aero. They did the upholstery and carpet on my RV-8 and I couldn't be more pleased. On the carpet for the RV-8, I did spend a good deal of time laying out exactly what I wanted on CAD, printing it on a plotter, adjusting the fit, then updating the CAD, etc. But when I finished that process, I just emailed the CAD file to Luke, and he converted it into a carpet that literally fits like a glove. I was very impressed. Quality of the carpet is excellent and Luke makes sure it is fire treated as well.

Best upholstery and carpet available for RV's in my opinion.

Hey Matt,
That was my first place to look as I bought my seats there years ago. But no dice.
From their web site:

We don't offer products for the RV-10 at this time. The main reason for this is that we have decided to continue to focus on our current products. We plan to further refine and then expand the items that we make for the RV-7, RV-8, and RV-9.

Try plane plastics. They used my plane to create the pattern and their carpet quality is decent.

Sorry, don't have website but they do vacuum formed instrument panel replacements and ate located in Oklahoma. They also attend sun fun.

Do not archive.

If you do not want a fancy carpet job and do not feel compelled to spend for Airtex FAA approved stuff.... I have a solution. Look in the carpet remnant stores for Jute backed wool carpet. It is a bit hard to find, but I got a nice piece in San Rafael, CA for $60. I made templates out of kraft paper and cut the pieces. Then had the edges bound for $1.00/ft - I think that the binding ran about $100. Viola - carpets for about $165 total cost. The binding lady even put hot melt glue around the tie down/seatbelt holes in back. This gives you a fairly fire safe carpet except for the small amount of urethane glue on the jute backing - this can be treated with a can of spray fireblock if desired.
