kerrek 0 Report post Posted February 14, 2006 I know that the tail is equal to the shank length and upright wings are 1 1/2-2 times the hook gap,but what about spent wings? Should they also be 1 1/2-2 times the gap or is there some other proportion for them?Thanks! Ken Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
