<p>What I meant to say is that I have all the confidence in the world that one day soon your prop may rise more that 14 inches above the ground. :)</p>

<p>Just pointing out that the regulations for certified aircraft does not necessarily apply for experimental, regardless of how much sense it makes. We also shot for a minimum of 7" prop clearance for our aircraft, but that was based on our own criteria, not because of any FAA regulation.</p>

Most of these certified Regs don't directly apply legally to experimental, but the principals should, and they are a good guide for what to shoot for.<br />
<br />
Zenith Even mentions this in their site<br />

As you know, I have a Zenith Cruzer and Viking 130. The propeller is a Whirlwind triple 72 inch .<br />
<br />
The initial clearance without Viking spacer was 7 inches and increased to 14 inches with spacer.<br />
<br />
The FAA limit is clearance with flat nose wheel therefore 7 inches is adequate. I suggest the 3<br />
<br />
inch Viking spacer, I had to make my own aluminum spacer because of a moderate change of<br />
<br />
the six bolt drilling. There is a picture on my Zenith page. I am much happier with the 14 inches<br />
