This is one of the BEST arf's on the market, bar none, in my opinion. I fly mine off of grass as well and I had left the wheel pants off for the first season. Couldn't bear it anymore as the plane looks too good to be without the wheel pants. They really do finish the look. A Saito 72 is A LOT of motor for this plane. I have a 56 in mine with a 3 blade prop and it hauls. I've been asked countless times if I've put the 72 in it. If you search this forum you'll find many posts of happy Cessna owners. I'm a builder so ARF's don't generally impress me but this one is worth the money, any day.
