Post subject:  Falcate bracing for a dread?

I'm building a dread for the challenge. I'm interested in experimenting with falcate bracing and wondered if anyone has done this with a dread or jumbo sized box? The only reason I ask is because I got the impression from Trevor's book that this technique is targeted to small and medium boxes. Of course I've only read bits and pieces, just haven't had the time to do a proper study. I like doing things different so no problem there but would like to know if anyone already has experience, good or bad with the larger boxes.

I was hoping that's what I'd hear. I'm going to give it a go 8-)
