Although, if you are experienced and use good gravel techniques, shouldn't need to dress the prop much either :D

I have 100 hours on my nice new Hartell 72l
" and I already have two stone chips, both 12" from the tip.

I am very carefull on the ground and only fly from maintained airfields. This is with an RV7A. The 72" looks very close to the ground. When I phoned Vans last year about prop length they instantly said 72" even though their web site says 74".

Hartzell needs to sell only a 73 inch prop!;)
