Hint 1: Fill your nose gear strut.
Hint 2: Don't taxi through any depressions.
 
I think I read a recommended prop to ground distance. Trouble is, I can't remember what it was. Something between six and nine inches.
 
Good luck -- Bill Kennedy

> Hello all,
> I am building a 360 MKII and got an used Hartzell 2 blade prop, normally used for an IO360 with 76" of diameter. It is recommended to shorten it to 70" to 72".
> What arebyour experiences with prop diameters, independently of manufacturer?
> Disregarding recomendations due to engine vibrations, my biggest concern is prop clearance.
> As every inch counts for efficiency, I do not want to pay for (often) repairs after ground contact.
> Any hints (getting more clearance...) and recomendations are highly appreciated.
> Thanks in advance,
