I'm not sure about the clearance though when rotating. It may be way closer than I want to know about. When I did my landing gear main strut, I didn't shorten it. I had to cut one side about 3/8" to even it up, but per some other builder recommendations, I left my main strut longer, and the nose strut also.

That is a bit long. I was able to touch a 66", now 65 7/8, on one (not very good) landing. How is your 68" working ? I'll let you know in a day or two. > I'm thinking about talking to IVO to see what can be done to shorten mine. Just pull back a bit quick on the next take off :) -- Homepage: http://www.flyrotary.com/ Archive and UnSub: http://mail.lancaironline.net/lists/flyrotary/
