I think I needed to ask others who have gone before me;
My neighbor and I are building an RV14A and it has gone very well and it is unbelievably fun though the process of building.
My question is, because we live in Colorado we needed to insulate the plane. We used SUPER SOUNDPROOFING 1/4" W/ ADHESIVE //Part #: 09-01244 from Aircraft Spruce. It has worked very well stuck to the inside of the outer skin as we built.
But then I have been thinking of the bulkhead in the rear. And the design of the bulkhead makes me wonder why they used a heavy corrugated shape for the rear cover? I figure it must be for weight because the bends allows for a thinner material. But then I had the thought maybe it is for pressure venting and therefore I should not seal up the rear for sound and cold air?
Hopefully someone would know.
