Control Stick Grips and Wing Skin Screws

With the epoxy cured in the grip, I reinstalled them and tightened the set screws down.  The grips are rock solid now and don’t move at all.

Next, I installed the screws that tie the fuselage center section to the lower wing skin.  I had waited to do this until some shorter screws showed up.  Van’s uses -8 screws all over the airplane when shorter screws are sufficiently long.  I’ve tried to use shorter ones where I can to save weight.
