John,
I've actually got a fair amount of ground clearance from the prop tip to the
ground.  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.

Steve

Mine is a 72", also high pitch.
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 :)
