I have been following the nose gear callapse/strength thread and did not want to hijack....already tried. I am evaluating which RV to build and I will have it based out of a grass strip and did not realize that there may be an issue with this.
I would like to hear from some RV-7A owners that have there plane on a grass strip. I currently fly a 172 out of there and don't have any issues. I hold the elevator full back pressure as much as possible and I figured that would be adeqaute for the 7A. I thought about building a 10, but still trying to decide if I would utilize the back seats enough to justify the expense. The nose gear issue might play a factor. Any thoughts ?
