The time is slowly approaching where I need to install the interior on my 'Beast'

Does anybody have/know anybody that has/know where I could beg/borrow/copy or steal Drawings or patterns for the cockpit upholstery - bearing in mind that this is the military version with the glazed overhead panels

Compliments of the season to all

If I am not mistaken, the Fairchild, especially our older ones, were
certified under Car3a-? Part 23 does not apply to pre 60-ish aircraft in
that regard.

Jamie in CO: is that not true-?

Upholstery is not certified by FAA but must conform to
FAR Part 23 burn testing standards and be documented
as such by an FAA approved test facility.

Subject: Re: [fairchildclub] F24 -UC61K Headlining


Hello Frank and David-

My Partner Bob Coon And I have spent upwards of 40 man
hours researching, measuring and creating a headliner
pattern for our UC-61K. We tried the Airtex route, but
they have not made a headliner for fairchilds for some
time. Since we have the military version with the
Overhead Plexi-glass we decided to "do it ourselves"
We purchased some FAA approved headliner material in
yards from airtex. Its not a perfect match to the
original slamon colored tweed looking headliner,but it
will do.
over the next couple weeks we will be reinstalling the
home made pattern to make sure all the new wood is
correct and that the pattern is perfect. we will take
bunches of photo's and accurate mesurements. So if you
guys can wait a bit, we may be able to assist you with
the pattern.

p.s. our aircraft had a USAAF Serial Number 43-14964
and it also flew with the RAF as HB-690. ARGUS III
with the Ranger engine.
Our baby is also being painstakinly restored from the
ground up and will fly in RAF Markings.
I am trying to complie a list of remaing militarty
Fairchilds.
send me as much info and pictures you can! I can also
assist with the research of your planes!

thanks! Keep 'Em Flying
