I'm running an Ed Sterba 60 X 64 that started as a 60 X 68 and was re-pitched. I thought that was going to be a good start as that is what the KR100 started with. I'm able to turn the 64P at 2650 at full power cruise. I have approx 9 or 10 inches of ground clearance with the tail up. I think our FAA wants to see at least 9 inches but that was not checked on my final inspection. Marty Roberts was running a prop that long with the standard Diehl legs but said he had to watch getting the tail too high on t.o. and landing. With my longer Diehl legs I wish I'd gotten a bit longer prop. Larry Flesner
