grass takeoffs and landings

[v2flier]

Began park flying using a folding prop, after nearly running out of suitable model choices I tryed a modern aerobatic plane but subsituted 3" wheels and had successful takeoffs and landing off short grass.That big wheel fitting has opened another world of aircraft choices.I'm now pushing the envelope of size for a park flyer being outside the recomended 2lb limit,should move to a club field to continue my progression and limit park flyers to the smaller machines.The takeoff tecnique of giving up elevator and gunning the motor keeps a taildragger from noseing over at inital rollout and am airborn in 10 feet.Landing are also short using up elevator again to prevent tipovers.
