Description

Our unique laminated plywood turtledeck shell takes advantage of our vacuum-forming expertise to produce a high-quality, strong, lightweight, and dent-resistant turtledeck structure. Unlike lightweight aluminum sheet structures, laminated plywood resists denting. Even if it does get damaged, it can be repaired easily and invisibly. The turtledeck is plenty strong enough to support typical NAV/COM or GPS antennas, and the all-wood structure lends itself to mounting hidden internal antennas. This item includes only the outer vacuum-formed plywood shell (two bonded layers of .065 inch birch aircraft plywood). We also offer a full turtledeck kit which combines formers and other necessary structural members with this shell (available in a separate listing). One shell required per aircraft.

NOTE: By modifying the way the laminated shell is formed and/or trimmed, this item should be adaptable to many other airframes. Feel free to contact us about creating a custom turtledeck shell or kit for your aircraft!
