baronn 111 #1 March 21, 2017 redoing my 182 and tackling the interior. Thinking of spraying Rhino liner on it. Thoughts? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quade 4 #2 March 21, 2017 Maybe check with an A&P and consider the weight gains. I mean, I have no clue what that stuff weighs. Do you?quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

baronn 111 #6 March 22, 2017 Just to be clear, I plan on only using it on the sides and ceiling. Floor will have a new padding. Weight is not an issue. As with many older Cessna's, the interior has been covered in various things and just looks like crap. I need something that will cover that up and still look good. Was hoping to get some input about other options or things that have been done before. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tkhayes 264 #7 March 22, 2017 the fire thing may actually be what the FAA look at if they ever decided to question it. When we put bench seats in the Otter, they wanted us to find 'FAA fired rated foam'.....which does not really really exist, but they settled for furniture foam that meets California fire requirements, the most stringent in the country. I would think spray on liner would be a fucker to get off if you ever decided you need to remove it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Channman 2 #8 March 22, 2017 When building an RV-7 over a 4.5 year period we looked at using Hydro-turf Ride Mat Material. Ended up using carpet instead, but if your C-182 is a Jump Plane...this stuff is very durable and holds up well. http://www.marineparthub.com/SHT40MDPSABLK_HYDRO_TURF_VECTOR_Ride_Mat_Material_Mat_Sheet_40x62_Dia_Blk?src=Google&gclid=CjwKEAjwwcjGBRDj-P7TwcinyBkSJADymblTtOVX5R4XW7JlQUS4xYgPr2t_E_YO5NC2Bza9G7YgOhoCH-nw_wcB Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
baronn 111 #9 March 23, 2017 "We're from the government and we're here to help...." Funny how they ask for shit that they have little knowledge about. No doubt, this is gonna be pretty permanent. It's an old beat up skydive airplane and will never be anything else. I've cleaned most of the old stuff off and it's now just brushed/scarred aluminum. Certainly smells better than it did. I'm not trying to put too much lipstick on this pig, just enuff to keep the date interesting. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
baronn 111 #10 March 23, 2017 Diamond design! Oooh Baby! I'll have to dig out the KC and the Sunshine band soundtrack. It actually looks pretty nice. I'm trying to get away from the cut and stick on stuff. It;s hot where I'm at and I'm gonna be lazy once I get this done. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
philly51 0 #11 March 23, 2017 You might consider FRP (fire resistant panel). It has a pebble like finish, 1/8' thick and is readily available. Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, Shouting "...holy shit...what a ride!"

IanHarrop 41 #12 March 23, 2017 I couldn't find many interior pictures of the planes at one of the local DZ but the one attached will give you a bit of an idea of what they do. There is NO interior in their planes, just white paint. The owner will cut off the nuts of anyone that even thinks about putting a sticker in his planes. There is a mat on the floor and that is all the interior there is. The advantages: light weight, clean professional appearance."Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jumpwally 0 #13 March 23, 2017 I'm thinking this is really one of those good bad idea's !!!! How in the world would you inspect for cracks or corrosion ? You would be trapping future potential issue's......Don't think the FAA is going to go for this,,,and if you don't double check prior to doing this,,well,,,,,,,,may as well tar and feather your wings while at it.... smile, be nice, enjoy life FB # - 1083 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RM1 0 #15 March 24, 2017 Check again. FRP stands for fiberglass reinforced panel. On a more useful note Selkirk sells full interiors made of fiberglass for narrow body 182 and has the forward portion finished for wide bodies. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
baronn 111 #16 March 24, 2017 That's really sharp! Clearly he did a lot of prep and a f ew layers to make it look like that. Mine wude require a lot more work to look like that. I'll have to think about it.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BIGUN 1,230 #21 March 28, 2017 QuoteWhat exactly is Rhino Linings made out of? The Rhino Lining material is a premium quality, 100% solid elastomeric polyurethane. The commonly-used Rhino Lining product is also know as Tuff Stuff. The raw material comes in two parts, resin and isocyanate. The two parts are proportionally combined at the tip of the application gun just as it is sprayed onto the surface. It dries very quickly to form the finished coating. SOURCE: http://www.rhinometro.com/RM-v09/Pages/trucks_faqs.html#QA13 QuotePolyurethane Polyurethane is at the top of the list when compared to other coatings for abrasion-, stain-, and chemical-resistant properties. Polyurethane was the coating that introduced the wet look. It has a high degree of natural resistance to the damaging effects of UV rays from the sun. Polyurethane is usually the first choice for coating and finishing the corporate and commercial aircraft in today’s aviation environment.
