Thanks Sandman for the pictures and response. I think I'm going to have to sleep on this one a bit more. I've a Seagull SpaceWalker II 120 in the box and a 28CC engine but our field is rough.
That shouldn't be a problem.. the landing gear's pretty robust and could easily be reinforced with some fishing trace wire between the gear legs... and even with the 18" prop there's probably about 3" ground clearance when it's sitting level. I fly mine off grass... with those huge wings it really takes off and lands a lot like a trainer (albeit a tail-dragging trainer), with easy lift-offs and set-downs being the order of the day. Of course if the grass is really long you might end up mowing the lawn a bit.
