Re: [Titanaircraft] More Interior 2S Upgrades

Mike,

I can do a bit better.  I have photos of pretty much all of it, but the 2S panel is is very different than the 2D (original 2-seat)I have finished photos of the 2D panel on the same photo page as well.  However, if you would like, I can send you the rest of the photos of either 2D or 2S panel or both.  I didn't take as many as I would have like to when we were building the 2D, but you should be able to get the idea of what we did.  On the 2D, you need to make it so the rear seat reclines into the fuel tank area a little.  That's the big difference between the 2D and 2S, other than a few other minor ones.   The 2D panel we built had several bends bends, and the lower piece around the gear leg truss was a complex shape, but very doable with patterns.  When cutting the patterns, cut smaller pieces and tape them in place to patch where you've cut away too much, and then cut it again to correct it and tape them all together as you go to create the
full-size patterns.  Both panels in both the 2D and 2S are split just above the diagonal cross-tube behind the seat for the slip joint.

Hi Kimberly!
I desperately need to make a rear panel for my Titan II.  Could you describe your panel construction in a little more detail, such as materials and the attachment points.

As we've been getting more of our upgrades completed on our 2S, I thought some of you might like to see them for ideas on your next projects.

In addition to the new rear seat, we just finished the new aft cabin panel that is screwed securely to the fuselage tubing via riveted clips and tinnerman nuts. It is two-piece with a slip-joint between the upper and lower halves and a hinged door held shut by magnets. It is covered with naugahide over 1/4" foam pad, and th elower portion is carpeted, beginning with the A-shaped hat to make sure the seat doesn't deform the panel. Ths slip-joint through is virtually invisible due to the carpet texture.

We have also eliminated all vinyl plackards for Experimental, 'Solo from front seat only', and the passenger warning, and replaced them with embroidered text in the side carpeting and panel above the aft cabin window.

I have posted pictures in the Panos folder in the Titan group. I'll keep 'em coming as we get through this massive upgrade project.
