Mine is the composite version. I measured about 213mm from axle to upper surface. This provides plenty of ground clearance for 23" props. Your mount may be different though.

So far I have milled all the plywood and the 3mm balsa. The hull is built up so far that I can start with the 2mm balsa planking, I'm just waiting for another delivery of balsa to make the cable duct from 0.8mm balsa and glue it in. I will post a picture this afternoon.
But I have a question about the undercarriage. On the pictures it looks like a Falcon undercarriage, but what height is needed if you want to run a 22" propeller?
CLG001 with 200 mm height (upper surface to Center of Wheel Axle)
CLG002 with 216 mm height (upper surface to Center of Wheel Axle)
or
CLG004 with 234mm height (upper surface to Center of Wheel Axle)
I hope the holes in the landing gear mount correspond to the pre-drilled Falcon landing gear legs.
Thanks Rainer
