Default RE: DL-50 engine

Hey guys, Im thinking about getting a DL50 for a Skyshark Christen Eagle. I will have to use a 20 inch prop due to ground clearance. Will that be a problem with this engine, causing it to turn up more than it needs to?
Thanks,
John
Are you sure you don't have a little more room? A 20 inch prop is gonna be a really light load for the motor. A 22 or 23 would be better. You can always try the other tricks in the book, Put a block under the gear and put bigger wheels on to get the extra clearance. Your only talking about needing another inch if you go to a 22.
