Good point Linn.
And you have to consider Bush Planes. Most are tail draggers, their tail
is even closer to the ground than ours, many are fabric so, why aren't they
destroyed? It could also be that the Grumman owners used a lot of throttle
during taxi and that kicked up the stones at a higher velocity. So, how do
the tail draggers taxi? Well, they have their nose higher into the air and
much more ground clearance. Which brings up the next question... What
does the Grumman's prop look like?
