Brett, I tried grass for the first time a couple weeks ago, my P-51 really needed A LOT of right rudder on take off. One of the guys came over and put some toe-in in the gear then told me use the grass until I got the hang of the rudder on take off. It was not that bad. I had a nose over the first try, then with a bit of back pressure did just fine. You been doing this a lot longer then me you will be just fine man.
