One more thing.Any plywood you use for structural components (gussets, etc.) should be eitherAircraft Plywood or Marine Plywood. The glues used to make the plywood need tobe waterproof.

I can relate. When I routed my spars, after I finished I discovered that despitemeasuring a hundred times, I had left the "unrouted" areas where the strutsattach in the wrong areas. I went ahead and routed the entire spar (except centersection, of course) and made inserts that matched the curve of the routededge and fit exactly into the spar. I glued them into the proper locations,you can't tell the difference and just as strong.
