Default Reflector Length??

I'm diddling with the design of a homebrewed 20M hexagonal wire beam a
la the Traffie Hexbeam. I have the driven element resonated at
14.150=B1 in the modeler. Now I have to add the reflector to the model.
The question is how much longer should the refelector be vs. the
overall length of the driven element in terms of percenatge/scale
factor. I'm much more interested in F/B performance than I am in
forward gain. Does anybody who has been there have suggestions for a
starting point??=20

Tnx, w3rv
