Redbird strongback
I built my strongback this weekend and it is exactly 16 feet long, top included. I know that I can add a piece in the middle to make the top longer for a 17' 6" Redbird but is this necessary? Thanks, George.

Another joint question for the experts
If a butt joint is acceptable on the planking strips, and a 1:7 scarf joint across the "thickness" of the strip is okay, wouldn't any ratio in-between be acceptable as well? The reason I ask is this: If you use the 1:7 scarf joint (the joint that looks like a butt joint from the outside) I...
