Default RE: prop clearance

My trainer isn't a high speed plane, but I replaced the 3 blade prop with a 11x7. I have less than 2" clearance. I ease on the throttle and hold fulll up elevator like a tail dragger until the nose wheel gets very light and wants to rise up before easing back on the stick. Landings are no problem if I remember to be more careful with the attitude on touchdown. I kind of like flying it this was as it makes me remember technique and is good practice.
