jointer advice

Hi guys
I have no problem jointing short pieces up to say 3 foot, but anything
longer and I get a bow in the middle of the timber. Any advice would
be great.

Your outfeed table is not tangent to the cutter head. If your bow is
concave, the outfeed table is too low. If it is convex, the table is
too high. If the error is slight, you will (as you have discovered)
still get a fairly straight edge on shorter stock.
