With Jim having his own grass strip, I'm curious if the nose gear on a Grumman would pass the test of time or be a problem?
I don't know the answer to this, just curious.

Our Club A&P/IA lives out of a 2500ft grass strip, we fly ours out there no problem
. We also took 2 of the planes to Reklaw this year. So far we haven't had any issues landing or taking off on grass strips, the biggest issue being climb performance. Our Cheetah has a high-compression upgrade that makes a big difference in how quickly it gets off the ground. The Tiger doesn't, however.
