Karol,

The one video taped takeoff that I have shows exactly what everyone is talking about on a grass strip. I've flown it several times from grass without issue but this one time with the camera rolling and the grass a little high at the field it almost stands on it's nose when I bring the power up and the wheels grab in the grass. Luckily it kept movig forward and with up elevator the tail came back down and I was able to get flying speed and into the air without further incidents. The landings though are quite tame as it will flair and three point very nicely in the grass or a hard surface. I'm looking forward to next season.
