Jerry, I have a 72" Hartzell which works fine except when the nose gear
collapses.

Where are you by now and how you doing?

Subject: [LML] Prop Diameter

I am just getting round to selecting the prop for my 360.
Could someone advise me what the realistic maximum diameter
is to avoid trimming the tips every time you hit a bump on
the taxiway, or brake hard?  I have heard various figures
from 68 to 72 inches, and would like to know what other
people's experience is.  I am looking at a 71 inch prop as
one candidate.

Also, can you increase ground clearance by putting a small
spacer between the nose oleo and the nose gear fork, or does
that introduce other problems?  Thanks.

Jerry Fisher
