This time of year (late August) our field is unfriendly to tricycle gear trainers. We have a thick weed growing throughout the runway that makes taking off with tricycle gear difficult, even with large wheels. Thanks

So you want to go from an airplane that won't nose over or yaw when it hits a weed to an airplane that will nose over and yaw when it hits a weed.

Why not just take a gas powered string trimmer an cut the weeds?
