G'day guys just a quick question is rib frame 22 supposed to be level with the rest of the rib frames? it sits 5mm higher than rib 21 on my build. haven't glued it just want to double check before I make the groves longer.

Not building this one myself but Id say it's likely that the frame height will increase toward the stern so yours is probably correct. I'm sure someone building this will be along very soon with some more positive help anywayBigGrin

This is correct. The deck plate starts halfway at rib #21 and ends at rib #26. These section need to be flat for the deck plates to lay flat. It has an incline of about 15 degrees towards the stern. I had a problem with a wave effect of the ribs which I managed to rectify with packing of the ribs.

A good idea is to use the deck plates in issue #11 to align the ribs correctly.
