Ultimate Wheel Crank Length

Can anybody tell me a good crank size for an ultimate wheel?

I would think that smaller would be better, as your input would have
less effect on the wheel, hopefully reducing wobble, but having a longer
length means more control, and many comercial producers make them with
long crank lengths.

I am using a 24" rim, and I am making one with plywood disk in the
center, so I could make the crank length any size I like.

i put mine 5" from the outer diameter of the rim, and that seems to work
well

Just to let you know....
considering that you're making a six spoke ultimate wheel... you can let
it have 3 different cranck sizes.
