I have a Commant CI-119 Antenna that I am installing on the belly of my RV-6A. It is sitting about 1' aft of the Gear leg attach point. It has about a foot of ground clearance with the fuse tipped back in a tail dragger stance. It's a little higher in tricycle stance.
I am wondering how much the gear legs can flex on a hard landing. Is 1' of clearance adequate? I can't imagine them bending enough to lose a foot of ground clearance.
Thanks for the assistance here.
