I had a SAAA, (sport aircraft association of Australia ) inspector
inspect my work and he was impressed, but I asked the same question and he
said it did not really matter, but other sources of information I have
indicate the grain should be at 45 degrees to say a vertical member and a
longeron. I would feel happier with the grain at 45 degrees as I would think
there would be less tendancy for the gusset to split along the grain. I am
no aeronautical engineer so I cannot really say what is right and what is
wrong.
