Does the CF hold up to rough landing such as landing on grass.

Yes. The steel coil takes the abuse. The carbon tube that works well for this is a .160 ID x .230 OD. Various sources carry the size. A short aluminum sleeve ca'd at the carbon ends will maintain integrity. Probably not needed but I use it. I also use the ally sleeves on the carbon pushrods
