Mark I have also seen a strut with a gussett welded in the same area. Gene Byrd had his welded with a gussett because he was landing on a rough grass strip and his strut was bending. He later replaced the strut but he considered the gussett as a stopgap measure until his new strut came in. Was your strut showing any signs of bending? Why did you think you needed the extra strength in this area?
