				Seeing all this discussion about the size of prop allowable on Mono's
 prompts me to ask if anyone knows
 what the largest prop for the Tri is 62".... 64"....66"?? given the
 different static angles on the ground etc
 
 thanks

				At least 70" if you make the necessary mod to the nose gear . I had a new 
 spindle machined out of the same material as the original, which is 50mm 
 longer. It increases the nose-up attitude on the ground by 1.6 degrees, and 
 there is no noticable change in handling.

				Karl,
 See article in Sept 07 Sport Aviation (pp 110) for the downside of this!

				Duncan,
 
 You had me worried for a minute. Are you referring to the article 'Range of 
 Pitch' and lack of traction in a crosswind takeoff ?  I am not sure I 
 understand that one. I can keep the aircraft on the ground as long as I like 
 by pushing the stick forward, and I have to do that on a bumpy grass strip 
 on landing, otherwise the steel spring suspension propels me back in the 
 air.
 Very recently I made a takeoff in a 40 knot 90 degree crosswind without too 
 much bother. The landing, though, was something else.

				My trigear has a 66" prop and no mod of the nose gear without any noticeable problem
