Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Horizontal stab question I'm not sure if I read your problem right? But youdo put the plywood gussets on top, but if you use PolyFiber like I did, you have to cut strips of wood to goaround the stabilizer to fill in the gaps betweenplywood gussets, as Poly Fiber dacron heat shrinkcovering, needs a constant perimeter level piece ofwood to glue to, so when you shrink it, it shrinksevenly. If you have a gap on the perimeter yourdacron will sag in the gap without a surface to glueto and shrink distorted.
