Thanks , Oh yes they’re shortened by now. Frame 30’s bottom is a little short compared to the plan. I’m going to cut it and add a longer bottom. That may work. I wasn’t clear on the bottom lengths when I cut them previously.

Ok I shortened frame 31 slightly and extended frame 30. I think I’m in the parameters still of frame size. The result now I hope will allow me to ba able to fair those frames together in the end.
Status of my build since March. I’ve been busy building and flying balsa planes. I’m glad to see we’ve had more people join the group build. Hoping to get back on my LeRo in a couple of months. Good luck all. I’m seeing great progress.
Hi Tony, how are things going with Le Rochefort? We would be delighted to see you back soon.
Thanks Tobias. I stop in the check progress on occasion. I haven’t touched it since March. I work in construction and although semi retired the winter is the only time when I have much time to build. Also been working on my planes which I love.
I plan to get back on Le Rochefort around the new year. I’m going to give it a concerted effort. If I burn out fast or lose interest quickly I may just call it a failed effort and move on.
I have a plane project to finish and I surf fish the beach here and from Oct to the end of Dec is prime time so I’m out there hunting the Striped Bass. I’m also a amateur radio operator. Too many hobbies and not enough time for them all ! Regards to everyone.
Great to see the progress you guys are making on your models ! Still no progress for me. I'm building planes still and I really do need a 5" mini table saw to cut planks for Le Ro if I want to proceed. Semi retired and money doesn't grow on trees. Maybe I'll be able to get one this year. We shall see. Keep up the great work everyone.
I made mine from Alum … from a 1970’s model shipwright periodical. Recommend this. Then progress to what suits you and budget. Making it I forgot work and time. Wife went to bed and note on table with photo of her! “Remember Me?”, dinner in oven.
Good morning Tony, nice to hear from you. We would all be happy if you could work on Le Rochefort again soon. Good luck finding the saw you want.
