Yes I keep hoping that APC will come out with a 3 blade version of the 11 and 12 inch props. For right now you could join the "Stork" club ----lengthen the gear and/or use larger diameter wheels.
I do both, but to be honest, takeoff from grass fields is somewhat problematical. Too many times (at least 3 times now I think) I have ripped the motor assembly out on takeoff when the prop sticks into a clump of grass. My reaction is to perform a "soft field takeoff", which does get me off the ground ok, but basically kills any takeoff points. I probably should trim the tips of my 12-6 down a hair or two.
Now maybe we should let Crist have is thread back!
