I agree that a gusset is a great idea, but aren't the tubes forming the
rib only 3/8" diameter .....so if you put a 1/8" hole in it for a rivet,
thats making it really weak right?
<snip>
actually 5/16" tubing...even worse, right? But you do squeeze it in a
vise down to 3/16" which makes it wider in the plane your actually
drilling in. Leave enough edge distance and it is fine. It is in the
plans.

Yeah John,
Remember Willie Z, the "candy man"?
I believe he has a 1000 + hour Firestar with a 503 engine that has yet to be opened for the first time. Terry F and I fly with him regularly and his 503 is still running strong. Terry's Firefly is well on the way to 1000 hours and his sweet running 447 has yet to be opened for the first time also.

You know, prime rib, boiled shrimp (peeled and deveined), choclate eclairs,
cream horns, and a very large slice of cherry topped new york cheese cake>>
John,
you just spoiled your street cred.
I had you down as really roughing it on your trips around the country.
Chewing on jerky and beans and sleeping in a hammock with a rifle at your
side to keep the critters away.. Rainbow room... huh!
Cheers
Pat
