Another trick that I used was. I built my fuselage sides without gussets, cleaned up the wood in prep for then tookt he wood on a 45 degree angle in order to get 5/8" on each side and draw the angle onto the wood, then I would cut it on the bandsaw. Of corse before I joined the 2 sides together it had the gussets in place.
