This is mainly a matter of "does it hit the ground when you rotate?"   This
is best answered by the aircraft kit maker (although Burt probably won't
give out any info anymore since he bailed on the homebuilt market).  Do your
own measuring and decide on how much ground clearance you can live
with.   Or make the landing gear longer until it fits the prop you want to
use.

Don't you just hate it when you want a simple 2 digit answer and you get
this stuff instead?  There really are few absolute answers when it comes to
homebuilts.
