Looking at the plans, I can't tell weather there are gussets on both sides ofeach rib or only one side. Both seems like overkill, but . . . ?The same goes for the fuse. Part of the fuse is plywood covered. Does thattake care of the gussets for that section or are gussets on the inside aswell? Areas of the fuse not covered with ply, gussets on the inside, outside,both sides?Thanks all,Mike BellColumbia, SC________________________________________________________________________________

NOt overkill, gusset both sides of the ribs. Every joint on the fuse isgussetted either by sheeting or by a gusset. It does take a littlevisualising to determine which will cover the joint.Steve EldredgeIT ServicesBrigham Young University> -----Original Message-----> mbell1(at)columbiaenergygroup.com> Sent: Thursday, August 19, 1999 9:14 AM> To: Pietenpol Discussion> Subject: Re: Rib Gussets>>> Looking at the plans, I can't tell weather there are gussets> on both sides of> each rib or only one side.

Mike, Gussets go on both sides of each rib. For the fuselage, look at drawing1 of the 1933 plans drawn by O. C. Hoopman. Gussets go on both sides except forthe upper and lower diagonal struts. The only go on top of the top fuselageand on bottom of bottom fuselage.Bart D ConradBoeing Field ServiceDC-9/MD-80/DC-10 & 737 Heavy MtcPhone: 713-640-5882/713-324-4192Fax: 713-640-5891Pager: 713-318-1625> ----------

ALL JOINTS ARE TO BE GUSSETED ON BOTH SIDES OF JOINTS rergardless of itbeing a rib or longerons. That is the method of transmitting loads thru theairframe. End joints/end grain don't provide squat except extremecompression.-----Original Message-----
