REFLECTOR: Prop clearance

[Jim Agnew]

Simple, chock the rear wheels and with the prop in place and a blade pointing down  have someone raise the front of the plane slowly and make a provision to keep the plane from tipping over backwards.  You will find that the blade tip will get closer to the ground and then at some point begin to get farther away.  You could measure from the nose to the ground and the prop tip to the ground and establish the ratio of change.
