snobbery re the topic starter's post,some folks like you perhaps ruslte would rather be seen dead than driving the Rolls to the cafe, or landing on a grass strip, of all things...tuttut...

ignorance re the posts of Genghis the Engineer and FlyingForFun: obviously some people dont know that flying into a nice smooth, mowed, hard grass strip is absolutely fine for your precious a/c, experience and general knowledge plays a role here

landing on one in the rain, or shortly after, can be very messy and dangerous too, since with all the mud you can slip and slide all over, even into the ditch, where rustle lives


Landing on a sand runway is ok, just use your common sense and lift the nosewheel asap and let the a/c fly off....dirt and gravel ok too, before you jumo in, wet the ground in front of the props to keep the little vortices down, also remove little stones etc that might nick the prop......

the topic starter did not specify the ownership of the a/c , maybe one should be a little more carefull citing 'ken stupidity in replying to post on this website , duffle , waffle or ruffle whatever your name is
