Default More Drywall Gussets

To All:

As promised, here on this Newsgroup about six weeks ago, I've posted a snapshot
of a rib gusset made from fiberglas drywall tape and polyurethane glue.

The photo is in the Files archive of the Fly5kfiles Group on Yahoo, in the
Practice Wing folder.

Other rib gusset experiments of possible interest: Resin-impregnated gasket
paper, coffee filters (!! -- you have to layer them but they fill the
grass-roots bill with regard to being inexpensive and commonly available) and
'parchment paper.'

Nothing very dramatic. Still experimenting, as time allows. Some interesting
results, possible suitable for low-speed, light-weight wing structures.
