Does anyone know how these would affect prop clearance during a "firm" landing? I know the Lancair donuts are stiff, but compressing them enough to get a prop strike is something I really never worried about. While I'd like the soft landing these shock absorbers are likely to provide I'm also concerned that I'd be risking a bent prop. Am I needlessly worrying here? Regards, Doug
