If I was planning to be landing in semi-long grass, or a wheat field that has been cutoff down to about 5 inches, would I need the LG off, or just take it in like normal and hope it doesnt flip?

What kind of epoxy works best? I noticed there is mainly 5 minute, 6 minute, 12 minute, 30 minute, and 45 minute, which one is better?

The plane will flip in grass that long.

I normally use 30 minute epoxy or longer. Someone once told me that the longer the epoxy takes to set, the better of a glue joint you'll have.
