Is there a rule of thumb for what's allowable for putting additional screws into a wood aircraft structure? For example, I'd like to add padded coaming to my cockpit rails (the upper fuselage longerons), and a mount for a handheld radio to the cockpit side... but I don't want to compromise the structure.
