Hi...I have a Superstar EP electric trainer plane (weight 2.5 lbs,
wingspan 48", 600 motor, 2100mah battery pack). I have
a large 1 acre+ grass backyard with the grass around 2.5"-3" inches high..(and I cannot cut it lower).
My questions are this:
1. For landings, would I be better off using Dubro
Main Skis or using say 3.25" tires? If tires, would
I be better off with the treaded type or plain foam,
and would a heavier rubber tire work better than
a lite foam one? I think the skis might be better, but
am concerned how it the plane would then handle
once up in the air and might be difficult to fly.
2. For takeoffs, I assume tires (3") would be no help
(would just drag in the grass) so I would have to throw
the plane. But I am thinking perhaps it would be
possible also taking off from the grass on skis. What
do you think?
