Prop tips in general should not flex much, the centrifugal force of rotation keeps most props straighter when running than when stopped. What kind of prop is that ???

Mike, I am not sure where you got your info on prop flex. The tips of an Ivo Prop flex forward in excess of an inch. Other props flex less. On a Kolb with an upswept boom this tends to increase clearance, However, it can dramatically decrease clearance to the back of the wing.
