Looking at the specs for that plane, the flying weight is estimated at 5.5 lbs.  That is heavy for a 40 LA.  The wing loading works out to about 22.5 oz/sq ft.  That means that off grass, its unlikely the 40 LA will be able to develop enough airspeed to lift the plane.  Further, if it does get airborne, you're most likely going to pull too much elevator, inducing the famous "Snap" roll on take off.  A previous recommendation that the CAP 232 is a good third plane is good advice.  If you haven't progressed in your flying skills to be able to distinguish between a snap roll, a spin, and a radio hit, then you're not likely to succeed long term with the CAP 232.  </p>

What may seem like harsh words in earlier posts is actually well intentioned, but stern, advice to help you succeed.   At this stage of your learning to fly, you have no idea how much you really don't know, but a qualified instructor, with the appropriate plane, will push you up the learning curve very quickly. </p>
