Firewall insulation

[kitfoxvixen9095]

i need some suggestions on firewall insulation for a series 6fwf. i've seen sewn firewall blankets in the past but apparently they are not available anymore. What have you guys been using?

thanks

Nothing, just the SS firewall.

I ordered a few feet of the heatblock FW (http://www.heatblok.com/product.html) - it came in a small box a few days later.
I will put exhaustputty on all little holes and beond the airbox, and rivit it on the cabin-side. In that way I hope it takes some nois away, as well.
A bit like this guy did it: http://www.azshowersolutions.com/Engine11.html

Succes building!

That build blog is great... I wish there were more like it... gives one a total perspective on building these planes... thanks, A.

I used a product called Thermotec. It is an adhesive backed sheet that can be cut to fit any configuration needed,

AndrewG.....Check out this site for build logs on all types of planes. Or just use the search for Kitfox. I think you will like it.
