Brief Description:  Alter rear stick grip for better clearence

My stick grips have a nice bottom lip to rest your hand on. It hits the seat in rear however. I decided to remove the stick and cut half of the lip off and then smooth out on scotch brite wheel.
I didnt know that gaps between two molds would be revealed in doing this. Soooo, now I need to mix epoxy with black pigment and fill in and work the edge some. The operation wasnt even a success. It still hits the seat cushion though not as bad. Guess Ill be calling flight line interiors to see if I cab have the bottom cushion redone.

Hooked the front stick back up and it does not seem to have an issue with the front seat. I need to get the wings on and attach ailerons before knowing if the front seat will require any alteration. more on this later.
