Hey Guys.As of today, the last gusset on the fuse is on, and the last clamp isremoved ;-)Now, I have to fill in between all those gussets to get full-contact for theply skin.Simplest (but not the lightest) seems to be just rip some of the 1/8" ply(birch) into 3/4" strips and use that. That guarantees the thickness will beright.Anybody got a better idea???MikeAirplanes dont fly on gas, they fly on money.The more money you throw at them,the faster they fly.IHA 110________________________________________________________________________________

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Whats Best???Mike, Don't glue gussets onto the joints that are to be covered with a plywoodskin. This skin itself will become the gusset. Gussets still need to beglued on the inside though, so that there is a gusset on both sides.John LangstonPipe Creek, TXnle97(at)juno.com________________________________________________________________________________
