Hi! Tony.
IMHO you need spats for stone and muck damage protection on trike or tail
dragger and I wouldn't dream of my prop. being anywhere near gravel
....patchy tarmac is bad enough.

Gidday,
I am wondering with a conventional taildragger, if spats minimise or in
actual fact negate stone damage to flap undersides? Any experience out
there, because if I was to seriously consider a conventional undercarriage,
well the strip I operate from now is gravel, and the underside of my wing
of a conventional tricycle has a small amount of stone damage immediately
above the wheel, some 2' away at least.
