I recently spoke with a gent who is well respected in the RV community. I won't bring his name into this thread. My question to him had to do with how well the -12 performed on grass strips. He convinced me that it will perform better than the other nose wheel RVs because it has a larger nose wheel (same size as mains) and lighter load above it. But then he went on to imply that the -12 may also be better suited to grass strips than the taildragger models. The reason is that hitting a large hole or bump with the small tailwheel would have a bigger impact on a landing than hitting the same hole or bump with the nose wheel on a -12. I understand the argument, but can't say I'm totally convinced of this. So I put it before the experts here on VAF to make comment on the issue. Thanks
