If you haven't bought your blades yet, you could probably look for slightly shorter ones - 580mm instead of 600, for example. I'm not sure those exist, though - maybe the next shorter length is 550mm.

Sorry - a "senior moment". It's a load of nonsense. I was looking at the scale drawings and with the greater TR diameter (than full size equivalent) it "looked close". BUT the geometry of main rotor vs TR is fixed by the mechanics which is identical in the scale and the pod-n-boom version. PLUS, I'm using a longer main shaft than the stock 550E so even greater clearance is achieved. It's clearly "not a problem"...
