I was only thinking about this the other day, someone said "be original"
so I thought why not glue the gussets onto the cross members first, then
when dry you only have one face to square up to fit the inside of the
longeron instead of two gussets and a cross member. It would be much easier
to get a flush fit of the gussets with the cross member instead of getting
all those miniscule mismatches, the plans give the cross member widths
accurately enough to do this, you could use a mass produced standard size
gusset instead of individually fitting each one, the gussets may have to be
slightly oversize to allow for fitting...............BUT, I haven't tried it
so it may not work.
