Hey guys, What is the most common way of building the fuselage considering that the gussets are one the inside? Do you build the right side first with the gussets glued on top of the joints, then for the left side just make butt joints and add the gussets to the inside after the left side frame has been lifted off the building table? I know I could glue the plywood side to the outside of the left frame while it is in the jig but I would rather do that after the fuselage is together and attached at the tail post (because part of the plywood extends aft enough to where the fuselage starts to come together). Corky, hope you get back to speed soon. Is there any association between the need for your heart surgery and the special ingredient you add to your shrimp dish?

Tomorrow I'll try to get her to buy me some turnip and mustard greens but no sow-belly for seasoning. Fraid it's going to be slim pickins down south. Probably try to feed me those yankee delights such as bread and rice puddings, rubbards or whatever those people eat. Can you imagine I'll have no more rice and gravy, shrimp creole, crawfish bisque.
