I've been studying the german build issues, way ahead of us, and looking at part D, it seems the correct position for it is ,(with the hull upside down), the flat crown of part D has to be LEVEL with the first layer of planks so that one plank from the second skin goes over the flat crown along the keel line, have I read this right?

I have followed Markus advice and put a layer of planks UNDER part D before fixing it. This raises the part so that there is a 1mm ridge ALL the way round, including the keel, so that when the second skin is fixed all is level.

I believe I commented about this in an earlier post and agree with both eric and swanrail that this is the right way to fix part D

I also followed Marcus advice in positioning part D. Otherwise the second layer of planks would stand proud at the edges.

According to Amati the mag is to advise that the 2nd planking is to be sanded flush with the resin parts, 2nd planking is approx 1m thick and the step is approx 0.5mm thick

well, I am slightly confused ( no change there really), looking at the german previews , in issue 41 the photos seem to show a plank being laid OVER the flat keel bottom and attached, the other planks only being laid up to part D, and not on to. Ah well, we shall find out soon enough

Ah well, we shall find out soon enough the single plank over part d is amati's way to compensate the missing height of part d i thought it was better to raise part d instead of mounting this single plank markus

Ah Ha! that explains it! Thanks again Markus. I think that as I am not doing the 3 motor setup, I shall wait 'till I am at that stage to see how well D sits before making any alterations. Cheers Markus

help please When i test fit Part D it sits lower then the keel planks,if i sand down the planks to dring part D level there would be no planks left. If i put a layer of planks under part D it raises it to the same level as the keel plank. but wot will i do when i put the second planks on. Any advice. cheers paul

Hi Paul, Mine is the EXACT same, I am going to wait until I am second planking that area before making any final decisions about attaching part D, that way you can raise or lower part D to suit the hull shape. Don't worry about it just now, I think it will become very clear at the time.

Any advice. cheers paul i think the only way to solve you problem is to put 2 layers of 1mm planks (from the 2nd planking) under part d... eventually you even have to put a 1mm and a 1,5mm plank under part d if 2mm are not sufficient no one will notice if your part d is located a bit lower than usual when your model is finished by the way: nice drawing, paul !! cheers markus
