Default RE: Composite-Arf rookie questions

I'm almost about to be finished, and wonder how well it will handle off our grass runway. It's about 115 metres long, a bit bumpy, and I wonder if I will have to mount some bigger wheels... I have the Eurokit standard brake-wheels. Are these too small? My engine is the Simjet 1200 GE which puts out 8 kg thrust. I keep trying to get the plane as light as possible, using only two wing servos and the Jettronics valves. No boxes and one 5 cell Sanyo KR 1800 SCE battery pack. The engine battery is 2200 mAh 7,4 V LiPo. I've installed the "original" fuelcell @2,5 ltr, and will top it up with the UAT. As far as I can see, ther is no way to build it lighter, and hopefully, the thrust vectoring wil help it off...?
