String stuff

Well, I have finally gotten over my fear of stringing and did a passable job
on a older Kawai grand the other day.  I still have 4 strings to do in the
upper treble.  My question is:  how long should the string really be past
the tuning pin?  Is it three or four fingers?  And should I back the tuning
pin out three complete turns before putting the string on?  I don't want to
screw this up..  Thanks!
