Have I gone mad? Dreaming of ceiling-mounted light switches...

I wish someone - more handy than me - would make ultra thin carbon fiber skins copies of our plastic interior pieces to replace the interior pieces.  These are nonstructural so they could be uber thin, I presume.  Am I right?  And if so, then also very light.

I would copy that idea, to be put in a file... sent to Mooney to work on during lulls in the production schedule...

I know somebody at the factory is collecting the ideas... like @Jonny and @Davidv

There are many forever-planes that could benefit from having some new and modern interior panels...

There isn’t a more stable project than working on an airframe that is 50years old....  stable as in... the dimensions aren’t changing... or expected to change... 

Best regards,

Thanks Anthony.  We definitely are looking at some weight savings on the interior, but at the risk of sounding like a broken record, too early to give specifics.
