RV-10 Interior Panels – Rear Air Vents

The following renderings and photos are what the RV-10 Front Seat Interior Panels will look like. These panels are made out of Kydex. Kydex is an FAA approved material and meets FAR 25.853. Options that will be available are document pockets and a drink holder. The drink holder is underneath and near the front seat and won’t interfere with leg movement. It won’t hold a “Big Gulp”, but will hold a normal can or bottle.

The rear panels feature an automotive style air vent that fits over the standard rear air vent door. The vent also makes it difficult for large insects to enter the cockpit.

The RV-10 Interior Panels will be shipped with no finish. The color of the Kydex may vary. The following renderings show the panels in a finished state. The panels can be painted or covered with leather and/or fabric. Specific mounting hardware, such as screws, screw head covers, nut plates, etc. are not included since they may vary from one installation to another.

The following photos are from Geoff Combs’ RV-10 N829GW. We’ll be adding more photos as more panels get installed. Geoff has painted his panels a tan color. He has also added some leather covered inserts which are not included in the standard panel kits.
