Bottom is twice that or 6 inches. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Piet2112" Sent: Tuesday, June 28, 2011 8:12 AM Subject: Pietenpol-List: Gusset Dimension > > I've been searching the archives to find the dimensions of the aft > fuselage gusset without any luck.

On the 3-piece wing drawing, top left, there is a notation stating "CENTER SECTION SPAR 3/4" SPRUCE". Look directly over to the top right and you will see a notation stating "WING PANEL SPAR 3/4" SPRUCE". Ryan On Fri, Jun 24, 2011 at 6:00 PM, Saver wrote: > > Thanks Dan.

I don't recall any previous discussion about it, though. You can just scale the plans (which I think is what Chuck was saying). It's not that fussy. I used 7" for the bottom dimension - matching the gusset on the bottom (see attached photo), and the top was about 4 inches or so. Bill C.

I remember that as one of the real highpoints of the build process - for the first time you have something 3 dimensional that begins to look like an airplane to even a casual observer. Soon you can sit in it and make airplane noises (don't be ashamed - anyone who says he never did that is lying).

So far it is going well and I am meeting my personal goals. It was such an advantage building a mock-up of the piet before jumping into the spruce. If anyone hasn't planned to do so, I highly recommend doing it. -------- Kelly Klaus do not archive.

We can give Larry a little slack for taking so long to get to this point, as he also owns a V-duster, and a Bonanza.
