Yes, but not gussets. Internal reinforcements.

What do you use for these internal reinforcements?
Carbon fiber?

Hi Peter,

I imagine you are talking about the last picture. IT is the wing of my Sopwith Batboat.

Here is a picture of the top center section of same.

I would not call them reinforcements although that is their purpose. They are part of the spars which are a sandwich of carbon strips top and bottom CAed to a balsa core.

Initial dimension of the carbon strips is 3,0x0,15mm. Final width depends on the required spar width.

They add quite a lot of stifness and some eweight of course.
