Even with a 68" prop, we need to be very carefull, when landing and fast taxing in dirt or unimproved (sp?) grass strips, where little water drains (dont know the word in english, sorry, "micro" rivers, hope you got the idea), the travel of the bungee, and the low pressure in the front wheel (compressed in a bump) will let the prop hit the ground if not carefull at taxi...
Just messure the distance from the top of the gear post to the inverted "V" of the engine mount, and add 1 or 2 inches of wheel compressed in the "imaginary" bump. then messure your prop tip (engine stoped, keys OFF the switch, please:-) to the floor of the hangar...
"Drive Carefully" sorry... "Taxi Carefully"

Doug, when I went and tried the 701 in Kitchener (Tom Mills ??) 3 years ago, he had a 72" warp drive prop on it (wheels). I noticed he was very carefull not to travel on the grass since it had a couple inches of snow on the ground.
I visited another one in the Montreal area, the man had a 701 on a grass strip. He also had a 72" and I recall seeing some grass stains on the tip of the blades.
From then on, my decision was made not to exceed 70" if on wheels or skis. Of course being on floats does not pause this problem as you have much more clearance.
Just my opinion

What length Warp drive prop is used on the 701/912 UL? I've looked in my
information and have not found the prop length listed anywhere(could just be me
being dense). I'm pretty much ready to order my prop but want to get the
right length blades.
