Did mine the same way as Dennis
Glued up both sides and added gussets after they were out of the jig
Didn't have any problem with the joints popping (T88)

I added gussets in the "jig" where I could. Depending on what side I had in the"jig"
at the time, the number and placement of the gussets varied. Attached is
a picture of the right side, as the few gussets attached would be on the inside.
As already mentioned, leave the large side panel plywood sides off as long as
you can stand it. I added mine right before starting fabric.

When I built my fuselage sides, I just glued my gussets in place (no nails). Nails
are only required to hold the plywood in place while the adhesive cures -
they are not intended to carry any load. Just ensure that the glue joints are
properly "wetted".
This method allows the builder to install the gussets on either side of the fuselage
structure while still in the jig.
Just something to keep in mind for anyone that hasn't built their fuselage sides
yet.
