How are you trimming the bit of gusset that overhangs the capstrip? Do youuse a router/table combination or a Dremel type tool? Big file andArmstrong method? Sandpaper blocks?Kent Hallsten________________________________________________________________________________Date: Wed, 08 May 2002 08:54:52 -0500

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Gusset trimmingPieters,I did an additional little operation on my rib gussets. Since building sailboats years ago, LIghtning Class, I drilled small holes in all the lower gussets, each side, where moisture could condense and in time rot. Won't weaken anything but might help on the moisture bit but I wouldn't even suggest any weight saving factor.Corky in humid La still waiting to hear from the Fedman . ________________________________________________________________________________
