You are correct. Director 4 should be 12 inches long on both the 8 and
11 element 432 antennas.
I ran the numbers in NEC at one time when I was considering building
the 11 element 432 antenna. Ended up making a W4RNL 12 element OWA
design for 432 instead, using wire and wood much like the WA5VJB
antennas.

Has anyone built the 8el 432 yagi from the dimensions on the W0FMS

The length of director four (11") looks wrong. I suspect it should be
12"
instead.
George: Will you be operating from near Willits, CA? I usually
operate as
a rover in CM97, CM98, DM09, etc. I works a station on Shasta several
times
during the June contest.

I am putting together a contesting trailer and looking for
suggestions
and
recommendation for antennas. At this time I will be installing
antennas
and
equipment for 6, 2, 220, 432 and 1.2. When not traveling, the
antennas
will
be mounted on top of a 30' crank up tower.

May I suggest WA5VJB "cheap yagi's" for such an app at least for

Here's one link. Do a google search on WA5VJB yagi for more
