Wow, the research you do and knowledge you guys have is astounding ! -
Excellent work. I am looking into building a Oneida. I cant seem to find much info on her at all. What plans are you working from ? Do you know where I can get scale plans and rigging plans ? Thanks
-
Lee Valley has some great mini planes.
-
Absolutely fantastic work.
-
Beautiful clean work. Very impressive.
-
Good progress. Move slowly and carefully and you'll be fine. Not as easy assembly.
-
Very interested in this. Im trying to find a great price. Is the ZHL kit a knock off of this kit ? Following. Thanks
-
Yes understood. I can see doing it but I’d didn’t work out for me. Good luck

I used the Hahn method for frames and have spend many hours on my LeRo and in the end I’m going to scrap the entire project. I made serious mistakes in haste because I didn’t want to cut each frame piece individually. The joints of the frames keel and keelson are very very critical. I succeeded with my Blandford section by doing the frames piece by piece and the correct way. I didn’t want to spend the time doing it on this model with bad results. By all means glue up the frames over the template leave them all larger all around and sand to shape. I’d hate to see you in the position I am in.

Great so far. I'm thinking of using Dr Mikes method or similar on my next project too. I guess you lofted the frames yourself from the plans ? That's one part I hope to avoid. One thing though. I think you want the grain running vertically not horizontally. ?

Nice, a huge headache for sure. We went south near the water but mountains are cool too. Vernon ?
-
I'm interested in how you found the instructions. Were they detailed enough that many questions didn't have to be asked or were they lacking ?? Great work.

You're moving right along, Keep it up.

I think the larger scale would be much more impressive when done also easier to work with the larger parts. Yes though, where to put it when done is an issue.
-
Looking absolutely great.

Absolute masterwork 👍

Hey Mark. Haven't checked in a quite a while. Very impressive. You work certainly hasn't suffered any quality drops as time went on. Fantastic uber clean work as always.
-
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.
-
