Soft field landings - low wing vs high wing aircraft
A really importanat thing to think about when operating off of turf is
if the aircraft has wheel pants.
If the grass was allowed to grow long before it was cut, it is possible
for wet clippings to fill the space between the wheel pant and the tire,
locking the wheel and sending the aircraft in a direction you may not
want it to go and have no control over it going there.
I have seen it happen and it is not a pretty sight.

strips - as well as other factors that might make one plane more
suitable than another for grass strips. Or is everything negligable?
