Yes, but you might want to wait until you install the ash cross-piece. That
way the gusset can be cut or formed around the cross-piece. My site
www.textors.com has some pictures.

I'm getting ready to put one side of the fuse together and I noticed that
there's no gusset on the second member, on the bottom. (extended
fuse)Should I put one there?

Jack,
Wasn't this topic recently discussed?
The gusset shouldn't be notch out to fit around the ash crosspiece - the
strength comes from the gussets and if you cut a section of it out, you
lose a lot of the strength. It's OK to butt the crosspiece up to the
gusset.

I agree, gussets should be left in tact. At the ash location along the bott
om, it butts up against the side fuselage gussets. The floor helps hold it
all together as well.

On a side note, I am about 80% done with HINT Video #5 FUSELAGE. It looks l
ike it will be a little over 2 hours long. If you could wait another week o
r so, it will be available for sale and it may just help you with your work
.

I am also working on posting some pictures on my site as well...for those o
f you who would be interested.

Jack,
I just wanted to thank you for the nice detailed pix on your site. They bring
very well some of the orthogons and fittings to life-- from blueprint to hardware,
and their interstices.
Very nice wood and metal work, too.

Thanks for the kind words Tim. Some people cut out the gusset and others
don't. After looking again I actually didn't cut it out. Tony Bingelis
says both work. With the outside ply glued it's plenty strong.

You have to pull the venturi out of the carb and it will
have the throat diameter cast into the side. Or you can
use an inside caliper. Pulling the venturi means taking
the carb apart. If you go here:
http://www.bowersflybaby.com, you'll find the best resource
available for small Continental engines and their carbs. On
that page you'll find a link to the parts interchangeability
for the small engines and you'll see that the C85 and C90
use a 1-3/8" venturi while the A65 uses a 1-1/4" and the 75
uses a 1-5/16" (both of those are too small for the O-145
Corvair). There are also differences in the main jet.
If I had to guess, I'd say DJ probably knew this and provided
the proper venturi, but all it means if he didn't is that you
may not develop full static RPM without changing the venturi.

My experience with these carbs has been similar. Exactly my
experience. You can run both fuels in them, but if you set it
up properly for one fuel, it won't be right for the other
except when the engine is running. I run mine exclusively on
100LL. There is a very simple little metal gauge that you can
make to set the float bowl fuel level so the carb won't drip;
that info is also on the Fly Baby site. I set mine using that
tool and have had zero problems with it since then.
>I am wondering if that heavy looking brass float just doesn't
>float well enough in this sorry excuse for car gas these days.
Like I said, if you set it up for auto gas, it won't be right for
avgas and vice-versa. Set it up for one or the other. The
viscosity and some other characteristics are just different
enough to cause the carb to drool if you set it up for avgas and
then run auto gas in it. The engine doesn't mind, but like you
say- shut off the fuel when the airplane is sitting, run the
float bowl dry when you shut the engine down, and when you turn
on the fuel, be ready to start the engine or you'll start seeing
fuel in the carb intake air box.
