I'm running about 7in on this one. I'll cut it down to 5 on the next one. The gear is bottomed out at that point.
The design calls for a retractable nose wheel, but I modified mine to be fixed. Much lighter, and if I try to land with the mains up the plane is still somewhat controllable and I won't suffer a prop strike.

Ernest,
How much ground clearance does that prop have? When I do a static runup, my
plane nose will lower 3-4 inches. I measured 8 inches of clearance with the
front strut bottomed out.
Is that front gear retractable?
Happy 2012 everybody!
