Today, I decided to rework the grips in order to can them to the inside of the plane. My plan was to elongate the holes to allow the grips do turn by 15 degrees. For the copilot stick, I created a template in CAD to show how much material had to be removed from the bushing hole. After I got the copilot stick completed, I decided to cut a new hole for the pilot side. 15 degrees is enough of a difference that a new hole can be drilled from scratch. In the end, the new hole and old holes overlap, but there is enough material between them that the grip cannot rotate. JD was right about the grips feeling better when they are canted slightly. Here is a shot of both grips mounted and ready to go. I have not reconnected the control arms at the base of the sticks yet. I want to wait untill all the wires are run and laced before I reassemble the control linkages.
