Ray,

Check the gear. It may bent bent out to the sides to much and maybe a tad back. Also, bend the "front" of the wheels in a little bit to give it some "toe-in". All of these will help the ground roll. My father plays a little bit with that same plane and I had to do everything I mentioned to get it to roll on asphalt, as you probably already know, it will not take off from grass.
