My understanding is that the standard minimum prop clearance with the tail raised to flight attitude is 9", but I assume this is for sprung aircraft.
For an aircraft whose only suspension is the give in the tires (such as the Fly Baby), shouldn't the minimum prop clearance be less?
Any suggestions? 6"? 7"?
