I have a 70" 3 blade WD on 912ul/701. I find it's a good combination needing 8-12' of pitch depending on desired performance. As discussed I found the tips were too close to the ground so I added a 4" plug between the nose fork and the strut. Works fine and also reduces the height of the tail to clear the top of doors.

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.
