Thanks for all the suggestions...I think I'll try to find a level spot (the largest is one toward the middle of the pasture) and cut the grass short and see how that does. I want to practice as much I can with my existing bird so I at least will get familiar with the approach and landing.

One more question for possible future use....I was wondering how well a glow plane would handle the gradual hills. If I got a glow plane I wouldn't intentionally be landing on the hills if I could avoid it but if I had to make an emergency landing I just wonder how something about the size of a nexstar or tower hobbies trainer would handle the slight hills + relatively tall grass. I know from flying my other parkflyers that the tall grass can almost act as a gentle form of arrestor gear to slow the plane down. I just don't know how well a glow plane would handle that.
