Paul,

I just re-strung my quad last weekend. For measuring the wire, I used a
wooden dowel rod, stuck through the center of the wire spool, laid across
the front/rear steps of a ladder. I connected a 100' measuring tape to the
same point, and then pulled away for the ladder with wire and tape held
together. Worked fine. I generally add a couple of feet to each
measurement,
just in case the formula and my design are in dis-agreement.

How do you then determine the correct reflector length?
