: The frame weight of 24 lbs is a bit heavier than usual due to the
: addition of inwales for stiffness ( due to the shallow deck),
: eight cross sections (again for stiffness), a removable wood floor,
: and extra aft deck tubes. Final weight should be around 33 lbs.
: That's still 10 less than a Khatsalano.

It looks great. I have built one skin on frame years ago with a wooden frame.
What are the specs on your aluminum tubing?
Diameter
Wall thickness
Aircraft grade or some other grade
Source of supply
Maximun length of any one piece with no splices in it
Type and/or grade of riviet used on joining

Thank you. This may be one of my winter projects after fininshing interior trim on my house.
