Prop hoop distance off ground

[mrutherford]

I just finished installing my prop hoop. It measures 13" off the ground. I am using the Pegasus rear suspension. My question is: what distance off the ground is the prop hoop on a Pegasus with no passengers?
Thanks,

I don't know the Pegagsus distance, but 13" is very generous.

Your right Marty! that would be a generous amount off the ground. I was wrong. The frame is 13" off the ground and the prop hoop is 10.5".
If there is someone out there with a Pegasus, please let me know the distance from ground to bottom of prop hoop with no pilot or passenger.
Thanks,

Mike:

10.5" ain't bad either.

I just went out and measured my Pegasus in my garage. It sits 12" off the ground, and 11.5" when I am sitting in it. The main frame on some models of the Pegasus turn down at the front of the prop ring to allow a larger ring to accommodate a larger prop. Mine is straight back with no down turn in the frame rails.
