Guide spacing on a 8' fly rod.

Hello all.
New guy on the forum. Picking up rodbuilding again after many years. Kids grown up... :-)
I have a 8 feet, 6 section fly blank. ERN =6 (well, 5,94 to be exact.) and AA = 62 degrees according to CCS.
I have just got my Fuji gold cermet guides delivered, so now I'm ready to go.
But after all these years I'm kinda rusty. I would appreciate any suggestion on guide placement.
The strip and top guides are no worries, but the rest.....
Please help a rusty guy in distress! :-D
Kind regards Göran.

There is a good article in the library about static placement of guides and how to go about it. I use it often in conjunction with the guide placement charts available online through places like Mudhole.

Thanks Nathan.
I think I've seen that article in the Rodmaker Magazine ages ago, or it could have a similar one.
I'll have a go with that static system. Makes sense..
