http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YG7JdTP7XRg the CAI raptor handles grass great, as well as the Razor. With the razor, i would say the grass should not be tall as the wheels are somewhat smaller. . it DOES NOT need trailing link struts, and takes off of grass with no problems, and they land even better. If set up correctly, it will trail straight just fine on TO roll. Use no more than 25deg down flap on take off. more than that acts more as a speed brake. On take off, hold brakes, power up to full and as it starts pushing through the brakes let go and hold just slight up elevator. The plane will get on step on its own and let it do so for around 50 feet before pulling more elevator to climb. This video is how it look on board from under the fuse.

the Razor has very similar flight properties. The most important thing to get right on the Razor is the CG. If its too nose heavy, it will have a hard time breaking ground. At least this was my experience with the plane. Fun flying aircraft
