... and any reinforcements in the EB and EC sections?

Thanks all. 256.75" it is. One more question: The Cushcraft 1-3/8" center element sections EA and EH have internal reinforcement, as is clear by the fact that the fiberglass center spacer is 1" OD but the next 1-1/4" sections EB telescope into the outer ends. It would be helpful to know the details for an accurate wind survival analysis.

My guess is that there's a longer section of 1-1/4" OD, and a shorter additional 1-1/8" OD at the inner end. Anyone have an unassembled sample in hand to inspect with measurements? Poke a tape measure down inside?

Thanks again,
