04/30/2001 09:59:04 AMOne of the notes that I've seen repeated on this list is that leavingthe side sheets off of the fuse until you're done with most of theinnards makes it a lot easier to install the innards. I'm at thestage where I have the sides together on my work table. With theinner gussets installed, the rigidity is quite sufficient and it takeshandling and bending the tail together just fine. I did one sidefirst with the gussets and then the second without. I think that Ihad to redo one of the butt joints________________________________________________________________________________
