Anybody fly the Park Zone T-28 off of close cut grass? Just wondering if its got enough power to ROG up off of grass like you would find on your average decently kept club field.

It can do it, but grass must be short and well-clipped. For normal grass, I went to 3" light foam wheels in front and 2.5" light foam wheels in rear. It will take off about 50% of the time. Power is not the problem, just clearance. Yes, use "up" elevator and a little left rudder. It tends to want to "dig in", leaning right and piviting on its head. (Cuts grass real nice!) Stan

I fly mine off of grass all the time. I even taxi it back and forth from the flight line. Our grass is short , but not golf green short. Just regular cut, about like your yard.
I even shoot touch and goes in the grass.
I have lights on mine and fly it at night as well.

They do great off the grass ( lawn cut ) No need to change wheels . They do it all the time where I fly and we must have at least a dozen of them . Nice flying plane !!! ( Not really for beginners tho ) ENJOY !!! RED

Here's another one in support of the stock wheels. No problem; I limit the amount of taxiing I do on grass fields because it reduces flight times. However, this airplane is at its best doing touch-&-gos in calm conditions and while using a hard surface for a runway. Please resist the urge to put what looks like "monster truck size wheels" on this one.



try asphalt the wheels are small
