REFLECTOR: clearance

[Sid Knox]

The blade length is auto-adjusting... just make a really sloppy landing and 
the runway surface will
eliminate any excess blade length.  Then a little effort with the JB Weld 
and some glass cloth and
you will have a better appreciation for the concept of setting-up properly 
for a landing.
How do I know this?   It worked for me (photos were posted several years 
ago).
