I flew the last 16 hours of the 40 off flying from my home strip. By then I felt confident in the engine and felt safer on my grass strip than
landing on pavement.
As far as poll of grass landings versus pavement, since I got the plane home I land on grass more than 90% of the time. Even lots of my
destinations are grass.

I have not landed the fox on grass yet but will as soon as the 40 are done.
Short strips are no place for test flights but I don't thank that a grass
strip is unsafe and would almost argue the other way. I'm pretty sure that
everyone on the list would consider me safety consensus as I am a former
Safety analyst for a major airline, And now in the insurance world

Mike,
Count me as one that lands 100% on asphalt or better still concrete.
Sense I'm still flying the 40 hours off my plane; I haven't had or made the
push to try grass yet. I have landed on grass and enjoyed it very much, just
not in the Kitfox. I will some day but sense I'm a "lazy" pilot:) I haven't
gotten around to it yet. By the way you might consider me, too safety
conscious.
