I tried to lift off a Jodel DR1050, without spats, off the runway at full throttle immediately after touch-down. Every grass tussock slowed it again. When I gave up, and stopped engine, it tipped forward, then settled back on the tailwheel. The prop hadn't touched the grass. No damage.
(I was pax in RHS until left wing lifted at a 45° turn off runway on full throttle being applied immediately on a perfect touchdown near runway edge.)
