Have you been able to complete the maiden yet? I hope you're able to find a way to get it to lift of on your grass stip.
I bought the EDF plans myself about 1,5 year ago and have been keen to start the build, but my hobby room is a bit on the small side for this model. Its difficult to resist though. I fly of a grass strip myself and don't have access to any concrete runways. Might be able to use the harder part of our strip as we share the field with full size gliders, and the main strip is fairly hard packed soil, although a bit on the bumpy side.
What was your final AUW? I am planning on using a bit of depron to keep the build light, but I'm not sure if it is feasable.
Best of luck.
