I'll just look around for a better place to fly. There is a club in Hurley which is about 40 miles or so from my house. That would be a pain in the tail to go that far everytime I want to fly. I should be able to find a place with a dirt road to land on. If I did decide to go with larger tires (not sure what size is on mine now) how will that affect the flying of the aircraft? I suppose it would only slow it down somewhat and I would need to recheck the CG once I had them installed. It really shouldn't have much effect on the CG though, just a little more weight.
Is the airplane red? The bull and the fresh cow piles might be of concern but the airplane will probably be just fine. I used to take off anywhere that was flat (paved road, church parking lot, dirt road) and land anywhere big. When returning home the smelly airplane would occasionally need to remain outdoors and air out for a few days.
Nothing wrong with flying in the pasture but you will learn to fly quicker and better by flying with others.
