Allowable Prop Dia on an RV 6

grundyde1

I'm New Here
I'm finishing up an RV 6 project. It has a LyCon IO 360 [dyno'd at 210 hp] with a HC C2YK-1BF s/n CH32152A. The blades are F7666A s/n H81751 and H81755.

It has 1 mag and 1 Light Speed.

I've read the Van's S.B March 2013 on rpm restrictions with electronic ignition.

Is there any other issue other than ground clearance flying with a 76" prop?
 
Vans recommended max is 72". Having said that we are running a 74" and I know of at least 1 six that ran a 76". There are some recommended minimum prop clearance distances with the aircraft in a level attitude. You will be less then recommended. 3 point landings or tail low wheel landings!
