Mark. Your progress is amazing and quality fantastic. Mine had been sitting not touched since April ! I will get it together and analyze where to start next after I'm finished with the plane I'm working on. Might never get back to Hope I do though. -

Hi Mark, Haven't checked in for quite some time. I've been busy building and flying balsa planes. Your progress is really is fantastic. You're maintaining the exacting accurate work you started with. Your work will continue to be my major reference. Hoping to get back on mine in a couple months. Love your shop ! Tony

Looking great Mark. I hope to get back to my build this winter. I'm still building and flying my planes.

Made progress before taking another airplane break. After fitting, adjusting, and fitting and adjusting I’m satisfied the frames will fit the jig properly now. Next step is to cut the notches for the spacers and cut the spacers themselves. Then finally I’ll get the frames in place. Slow progress but that’s the way it goes.
-
Looking great Kevin. Ill watch your latest vids today. A learning experience no doubt.
-
Back on it after an airplane building break. I milled the frame bottoms and finished them by hand. Have to figure out the rising frames now.
-
Great work Mark, your log and photos are the best reference are indispensable.
-
Beautiful clean work as always Mark ! I'm taking a break for a bit working on some planes but Ill get back on Rochefort asap

Incredible clean perfect work. Wow -
Managed to get the rest if the frames sanded. Made a new keelson too which I’ll slot to fit my frames after they’re set temporarily.

Just amazing Mark. I always thought I had the patience to press on for quality. I sure don't come close to yours ! So all your nails are the CF rod is that right ? Tony

Exactly not even the frame spacing, that’s staying as per plan. I’m only using his frame building method of making blanks out of 5 pieces glueing them together and cutting out both twinned frames at once so there are actual joints as opposed to what you described. I have all the frames cut I just need to sand the remainder. That and I’m changing the way the frames are connected at the keel and I’m making a new keelson to fit my frames on the top side. The rising frames in the stern since I do still have slotted rising wood there I’ll mill to fit that rising wood. As long as my spacing and frame height in on the money as per plans I don’t see a problem either. Thanks Tony

Oh yes I understand. I’m just looking for opinions and answers. No offense taken at all. You are right. Accuracy of frame connections aren’t there with this method. I see it this way. The only change I am making is in the frame to keel connections and the joints of the frames of course aren’t in the plans position. No measurements or part positions have changed or will change. I am only using that framing method, the rest I will be built as per the plans. Either way I’m thus far and don’t want to start over so all I can do is carry on and do it the best I can. I wish someone that knows more than you or I will pitch in here ! Thanks Mark
-
Right. I'm not trying to simplify the process. I cant see any other way to do it using Hahn frames. I can make new rising wood to fit my frames and a new keelson the same. they will have slots for the frames. I'm trying to understand this. As soon as we go to the Hahn method were taking away accuracy of framing. If my frames are notched to fit over the rising wood and the keelson is notched to fit over the tops why is that an issue ? I really don't see it. Thanks Tony
-
Question on the Hahn method. I’ve been looking but haven’t found out how do the bottoms of the frames get where they fit the rising wood. On the Rochefort the floor and half floor have different slots to fit over both the thinner slots and full size width of the rising wood. Putting the frames together as I did (glueing both frame blanks together before cutting) with that method doesn’t leave much possibility of milling out those slots. I did so one but I just can’t see myself doing then all that way. What I am doing now “right or wrong” at this point is I installed a solid piece of rising wood only where the square frames are from 5 to 25. The frame slots I will cut will now fit over it. I think I’ll have to do the keelson too this way. Haven’t really looked into it yet though. Maybe make a new keelson with properly sized slots to fit my frames. Opinions needed please. Thanks Tony
