Used to have a share in one.. .. .Personaly, I would not recomend operating off grass. Nose wheel a tad delicate, plus in winter on wet grass with any wind, steering can be fun as there is no nose wheel steering. Go carefuly with the earlier models with the smaller tail surfaces as they run out of elevator in the flare. . .. .On the plus side, they are just great to fly. Superb controls, reasonably quick and plenty around so maintenance is not an issue.. .. .Happy to talk further.. .. .PS
