I wish I could fly from grass. I live in central california near monterey. It rains only in the winter here, 15-inches of rainfall is an average year. All mown grass needs irrigation. It is not like other areas where it rains throughout the year. Irrigation is expensive at best and imposible much of the time. The crops around here are irrigated from very deep wells. Getting a permit to tap in to the aquifer is pretty tough and then you have to pay for the electricity to pump it. Basically asphalt is all I have and will ever have around my parts.


How about sprung landing gear? On my first landing I bounced a bit and bent the axles. I bent them back, it was OK. I greased the second landing just fine. I am thinking a bungee system might be a good thing. Anyone have links to how others have done this?
