Tom,I found that if you made them as exact as you are talking about, the cornersof the body would be sharp like a razor. I made each strip even with theedge of it's longeron side, then when done used small sharp plane (no pun)or sanding block to give the edge a rounded look ( small round like a 1/8"radiis) then when the fabric and tape goes on, it looks good. But you canmake it a sharp as you'd like.walt----- Original Message -----

Hey all,Just wondering what people have done about the filler strip betweengussetts... I noticed tonight when I put the bottom gusset plates on,that you pretty much have to leave a 1/8" overhang where the top gussetsaren't met by the side gussets.... Otherwise there will be a littleledge where the two gussets meet - if the top gussets are put on flushwith the longeron.... This make sense?? What have others done here?Tom Brant, MPLS________________________________________________________________________________
