Installed foam insulation as supplied by Sling in the rear fuselage between ribs 3 and 4 on the floor and side skins and around and on the rear of the luggage extension box. Much of this area is additional insulation versus Sling's instructions, I've done this following the lead of other builders in the USA. It's a bit of extra weight and work but hopefully worth it. Given that it's self-adhesive foam, it's tricky to work with. I was hoping for a neater job, but it's okay. The shape of some of the areas makes getting a perfect finish almost impossible, along with trying to maximize the use of the available foam. Longer scissors suitable for fabric were the most effective with this material. I've ordered another roll for the front of the fuselage since insufficient is supplied to cover the extra bit I'm installing.
