cut the grass! If you are to lazy to do that, just use a bigger front wheel.

5_Spot,
Yep. Cut the grass.
Seriously, bigger wheels can help and I generally suggest 3" to new guys at our field. You might get away with just raising the front, but keep in mind it could also affect the way the plane takes off. (Like getting airborne too soon due to the increased angle of attack on the wing, which could cause the plane to stall.)
Dennis-
Maybe i should of explained a little farther,besides cutting grass i noticed a small sliver out of the tip on my wood prop and nope,no contact with the ground.As far as mowing the lawn it's not that hard to do but i think since summer is coming they want the grass a little longer.Anyway i went to the LHS and got a Dubro longer than i wanted but there easy to cut,the problem came when the salesman said "just put it in a vise and bend for the wheel",well i did but just before i got it at 90,it snapped off,i'll braze it later but for now i just put the original back on.I guess another solution is a 11X or maybe a 10x with a lot of pitch or 12X plastic.
Dennis,the wheels on the alpha60 are just a tad smaller then 3"
