[NSRCA-discussion] Landing Gear Question

[Verne Koester]

The Bolly F3A Long gave me plenty of clearance for my Partner and Genesis 
with a 22" prop. Mounting location can obviously have an impact on that. On 
my Partner where I had some control over the location, I used 3" wheels and 
have 2" of clearance with the plane propped up to a level take-off attitude. 
I never measured the Genesis which has a fixed landing gear mounting point, 
but I think the clearance is slightly less, maybe 1.75" or so. I fly off of 
a rough grass field. On pavement, you can use the sexy little wheels and 
wheel pants.

Hope this helps...

Verne
