The main thing is that the planking should flow smoothly across the frames and a simple check with a plank laid across will highlight any high/low spots.

I've not seen any problems with frame 16, can you post a photo of your build as its out of the ordinary to consider building up the false keel.

Yes, pack the frame edge so that when a plank is laid across it runs smoothly without dip or bump from frame to frame, and in turn any frames that are slightly high should be faired.

hi sorry mate no pics..but if the rib is low run a spare plank up the edge of the rib glue it and when dry sand it to the shape and height u need it to be..but run a plank over your ribs and mark where it needs packing or fairing..i used different thickness planks depending on the gap u need to fill...good luck paul
