Default GP U Can Do 3D

for those that have them allready,..what is the ground clearance?,..i.e. how big a prop can you put on it without making new landing gear,.. and how does it fly on it's side?
I'm building a Funtana now for a 30 cell electric system,.. and this plane could probably do well on it with only 20 cells and lower gearing if it has enough clearance for an 18X10 prop. The Funtana will have a 20X11 on front that in testing is making about 17 lbs thrust. for the smaller "u-can-do-3D" , 20 cells and the smaller prop with less gearing would probably be right,.. at just over 10# thrust. If it flies on it's side well, it could be a future project.
