Are there 3 gussets across the back?One 7" A 6" space A 2" gusset A short spaceThen a 4" gussetIf so what is the 2" gusset for?Thanks Marc ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I have some questions I hope you guy can shed some light on.Does anyone know of a direct drive Subaru EA81 Peat?

That looks to be the mounting point for forward end of the vertical stab. Seedrawing # 2, middle and left hand top. That brings up a question for me. Shouldn'tthere be a cross brace under that gusset for the mounting bolt to attachto? The drawing doesn't show a brace there.

the 2" gussett acts as a filer block and resting pad for the spar of thehorizontal surface. It is also through which the stab is bolted. Notnessasarily strutural to the fuse. The vertical stab is just screwed to thethe horizontal stab, not through bolted to the gusset (or fuse). But youcan put a crosspiece in if you don't mind about adding grams, ounces etc inthe tail of *your* plane..Just having fun,SteveeProvo UT>Steve EldredgeIT ServicesBrigham Young University> -----Original Message-----> Conrad, Bart D> Sent: Thursday, September 02, 1999 11:18 AM> To: Pietenpol Discussion> Subject: RE: Plans questions>>> That looks to be the mounting point for forward end of the> vertical stab.

Just as clarification... the bolt goes through the stab spar, the gussettand the top longeron on each side of the vertical stab.Hope this helps.Steve EldredgeIT ServicesBrigham Young University> -----Original Message-----> steve(at)byu.edu> Sent: Thursday, September 02, 1999 12:48 PM> To: Pietenpol Discussion> Subject: RE: Plans questions>>> the 2" gussett acts as a filer block and resting pad for the> spar of the> horizontal surface.

I think I understand now. The vertical stabilizer gets screwed to the horizontalstabilizer and the horizontal stabilizer gets bolted to the upper longeron.
