[VFB] Re: winging advice-tail advice..help needed

[Joyce Westphal]

Proportions needed: how long is the wing on a royal coachman trude? I have always thought it came to the end of the hook bend..but now have discovered in Umqua feather merchants and in a video that it should come to 1/2 the length of the tail extending beyond the hook bend. Then, in another book, says that Chuck's trude style has it come clear to the end of the tail, but in that trude the tail is not 1 shank length but is 1/2 shank length. HELP>.what is the length of tail and wing on a royal coachman trude? Joyce
