Total freedom
 
You might chalk this one up to bragging but thought i would share anyway.

Went flying this morning and seen a grass field on a friends farm about 1000ft long, done a test approach and then came around and landed. This is the first time I have have landed in a field I have not walked to check conditions first.

The feeling of freedom was euphoric, just flying along seeing a grass pasture and swinging round and landing in it.

Man I love this flying thing (and the new bush wheels)

Here is the youtube link hope it works

What size of wheels are you using? I have a Maule tailwheel but it's not a bush flavoured one, which one are you using? :) Would love to do this as well sometime.
