Mike,
In the UK, you only have sunshine 2 weeks out of the year so you don't have time to smooth a field, you gotta fly while the sun is out.
Doesn't the snow fill in the ruts?

If you think our flying fields are nice you should try OUR golf courses to play 18 holes on!

Yep just watched the video of you flying off another snooker table, I just hope you guys know how lucky you are.

Nope, its mostly sheep poo that fills our ruts, good substitute for fibreglass resin.
This is the whole problem with asking if an airframe will fly from grass with a XXXXXX turbine:
What does it weigh?
How long is the grass?
How smooth is the field?
How big are the wheels?
Does the airframe have wheel brakes?
Does the airframe have flaps?
All the above have a bearing on wheather the airframe and turbine combination is suitable, in case someone is wondering, wheel brakes to hold the aircraft stationary whilst the turbine spools up only releasing them once the wheels start to drag.

I have both Reaction and Revision. They both fly off grass with NO problems, PST trailing link gear is superb and perfect for grass.
JetCat 80 upwards will be fine. Both of my PSTs fly with PST 1300s, more than enough ! Enjoy it !
