REFLECTOR: Interior foam

[Brett Ferrell]

Don,

I don't disagree with most of what you said, but I do think that the insulation
that I intend to install will not only dampen some of the noise and vibration
in the airframe, it will help maintain the interior temperature at altitude. 
Depending on what kind of flying you intend to do, that can be a big win.
