I mainly fly off a 130meter grass strip. I find the key to grass and soft grass is large wheels. I always go for the biggest possible.

I have a Q Composites Aurora, it has 3.5" nose and 4.5" main wheels and works great off grass.
My Ripmax Xcalibur works well too, mainly because its light, i think it has 2.5" nose and 3" mains.
The Ultra Flash works well to with there standard gear... and a jetlegend L-39 would work too, its gear doors are closed while the plane is on the ground.
