That is why I find thaat getting it as slow as you can before touchdown is important. Of course this is tricky. You must understand your plane and it's stall. If it has little forward enrgy, then it will not roll as far and be less likely to ground loop.

I have never had the luxury to fly my Fokkers from grass. I have scored a perfect 10 on a landing score with my Fokker DVII at a scale masters qualifier though, on pavement, so it is possible. Set up is key.
