Prop dimensions

[wolf.]

Dear all the question has surely been asked before (did not find it with the search function).

What is the best (max) prop dimension usable in a VE.

The VE & LE POH state 58 inch but it seems that most people have larger props (my Long, which I did not build has a 62inch Prop).

Now is the 58inch limit due to ground clearence or more to the max rev. Rutan wanted to run his prop??

Can't tell for sure on other Canards, but my Cozy is fitted with a 70" x 80"

 

All built as per plans. not the prop :-)
