Tony,
No it isn't. Make sure the tube is still round. Measure it accurately over
its whole length, any out of roundness will cause much pain when rigging.
Check all the bushes too, particularly the stainless ones that go in the
tailplane.
Don't damage or scratch the plating on the tube, it will tend to rust.(it's
4130, stainless ain't strong enough).
Regarding ground clearance of the prop on a Classic, Ground stance is not
relevant, It's when you lift the tail the danger occurs.
So, keep the tailwheel on the ground at all times the airplane is on the
ground, landing OR take off.
