Hello all. Searching the archives did not result in an answer so here it is.
I built my fiberglass gear legs which included the caster and camber thus no metal brackets for the axles. This allowed me to mount my axle lower and streamline the leg with the wheel. I made mine longer so I could shorten to a desired length. The time has come to start installing foam in my stub wings so I need to know. What would be the best clearance from the bottom of the spar to the ground for a tail dragger? also What is the measurement from the bottom of the tail post to the ground? I want to get the airplane up a little but not too much. Currently I have 24" from bottom of spar to ground and about 9" from tail post to ground. I need to cut down but how much. Only get one chance. I don't want to build a third set of legs. I will most likely use a 54 x 54 prop. Please I don't need to know how long a gear leg is. Just the clearance needed.
