Need help with really long take off runs
I need some advise. When I flew my Eagle 2 last night, it nearly took the entire runway (closely mowed grass) to take off. It's powered by an OS Max .40FP and a 10x6 prop. The strip we fly off of isn't totally flat and has some dips and bumps, and I could hear a couple of time on the take off run that the prop was hitting the grass. I don't remember the exact size wheels it has, but it's what the kit recommended. Do you think that larger diameter wheels, the nose wheel in particular would help? What else might help shorten the take off run? I've thought about a different prop, but when it's actually flying it has plenty of power to pull the plane around the sky.
