So I flew my fianc? to Chalet Suzanne today (closing permanently soon BTW). Tall wet grass and a fairly short field. Anyway, after lunch we departed and flew home. On the way I noticed that for some reason the plane was about 10mph slower than usual at the same RPM. When I got out at the hanger I immediately noticed the problem. Giant wads of grass hanging out out the wheel pants aft of the tires. Now, I can imagine that would cause some drag, but 10mph, wow! The moral of the story,,, watch out for those evil grass strips.
