You asked me to try and do a build blog so here is my attempt
Started the build two day ago. This progress so!
First mistake was fixing one of the stringers? In the wrong cutouts. Managed to release them and make good (I hope). I’m double checking now. I really miss having a plan, as you do with aircraft builds. I think it’s ok so far.

Bulkheads in, there is twist at stern looking down the length. Going to try to straighten it. No idea how!

I have to admit I’m rather at a loss at the moment. In the kit there are cut strips of ply. But fail see how to identify where the different sizes are fitted. This is because nothing seems to be itemised on the photo build instructions.
Even the shipping list is very confusing. It lists the dimension of the sheet they were cut from. Several items of the the same thickness are shown as, say, 3mm x 2, 3mm x 1 3mm x 3 etc. See photos.

Wondering how to decide what goes where? I am sure to fix something in the wrong place.
Any help anyone.
All would be clear with a scale plan!

Cheers for now, Glyn.

As the title says I’m slowly moving onwards. I am fitting stringers? ( the strips that go from bow to stern) I have no idea really whether I’m using the correct piece. The instructions have no information as to what goes where. I will not be buying another kit from SLEC!

I can’t see much wrong with boat up to now, that’s saving itself until later. It’s fun any way.
Here my update pics.

Being used to crafting rc aircraft, it soon became apparent that balsa is so much nicer than ply!

Hi RNinMunich
Here is the list:

I can see now that the stupid thing I’m guilty of is that I was reading the 3 columns individually, where I should be reading left to right across the page. So slap on the wrist and onwards. It’s obvious once you know!!!

I have completed this frame today. I’m learning slowly with everyone’s inputs. Thanks to all.

I sail onwards!

Superstructure completed. It just slotted into place with very little persuasion.

I’ve just made a massive mistake. I’ve glued in the superstructure and I’m pretty certain it should be removable to make a hatch to give access. I’m won’t be able to release it. Going to have to carry on find work around if possible.

Only excuse for me is the instructions do not point out that this part should remain removable. Ah well to late now.

Thanks to the two guys replying to my problem. There is now an update. I have managed to remove the offending hatch, by using a wood chisel and a craft knife. Very little damage to remaining hull structure. I’m quite pleased. One thing I’ve learned is that Titebond is a great adhesive!.
I fessed up to SLEC and they will supply a new laser cut sheet with all required parts. Happy days. Not sure what I will do whilst I await delivery. Might try to source all electrical bits, props and shafts etc.
Anyway thanks to all who have advised. Greatly appreciated.
I have vowed no more stupid mistakes. Let’s see how that goes!🤞

Happy days!
SLEC have happily supplied me another laser cut ply sheet containing all the parts I need to build a hatch Mk 2. So onwards I will go. It will all be plain sailing now!!!

Thank you all at SLEC.
