All-
I've decided to shit-can my kinked .016 fuse side skins and make new .025 skins. Can I do away with the gussets intended for use with .016?

Hi Bill,
I'd think you could do without them. It's a serious improvement in skin
stability, so the gussets are of doubtful value.

Hi Joe,
I believe the task would be daunting but possible if you're determined.
The greatest difficulty would be getting behind the
overlapping top skins. It would be necessary to use the .016 skins as
template and you'd probably want to re-jig for square
and support, so tail feathers would have to come off too. Always a risk
of damaging holes when you're drilling more than one
layer of material because a bulkhead might be tensioned to misalign and
in drilling out rivets you could end up with a few holes
larger than you can use. Also, there is always a possibility you could
damage electrical wires drilling out rivets.

Also, don't forget that the rudder cables go through holes in the side skins; the horizontal stab brackets are on top of the skins; the aileron control rods go through holes in the skins; the boarding step is fastened on top of the skins; and the front side skins overlap the rear side skins.
It might be easier to add .009" of REALLY tough paint to get to .025" ( )
