The solution is to have pre-cut strips of scrap plywood at hand. To use up
the glue, cut a strip of plywood to length to fit between two gussets and
glue it in place.

Oh, 1/8"?? What are you building, a DeHavallind Mosquito? Planes the size
of an Emeraude or Cavalier use 2 mm plywood if it's Okume or 1.5 mm
Finnish Birch.

BTW, the Emeraude plans say to taper the edges of the gussets, but it does
look better to my eye to add the filler strips.

An extra oz. here and and extra oz. there and oh yeah this addition would be
nice! All of a sudden the plane weighs 20% over design empty weight! ;-)
If the plans say taper your probably best tapering.
