Aileron rib question

[mongoose09]

Hey guys, my Steen S1-C plans show two ways of building the trailing edge of the aileron bay ribs. The first way is to terminate the rib with a long thin triangle gusset that covers the end of the upper cap strip and the last diagonal leaving the last upright to be glued to the back of the aft spar. The alternate way is to build a 1/4" thick trailing edge block that fits between the upper and lower cap strips and is covered with a similar shaped 1/16" ply gusset, this changes the shape of the aileron cove. Does anybody know why there are two options and does anyone have an opinion on which way is better?


Thanks,


Kevin
