If you put a spacer between the strut and fork it helps your clearance.( ask Vern @ lancair he can get you one.)I had a 70 Inch on,this was before Lancair had Hartzel check their 360 for harmonics,come to find out it was a bad match.I talked with Hartzell and was told the 72 inch would be o.k.The 68 inch prop designed for the 360 is a result of this study' My preformance is a few knots slower in cruise,but 3to400fpm better in climb which helps me because I fly out of 5000ft elevation airport.Hope this helps.
