Bigger diameter wheels
I too have a grass rwy and I suspected some take-off problems, so 2 days ago I looked at the front wheels. Those are 45mm diameter, you can easily change those with 55mm diameter (which I did already) there's plenty of space in the front gear bay to install even bigger wheels but more than 55mm will rub/bind them against the bottom of the wooden battery floor.
The wheels of the mains can be easily changed to 50mm diameter instead of the stock 45mm diameter.
I'd like to give it a try but our grass rwy won't be accessible untill mid next week.
With 55mm front wheels your raise the AoA by 5mm.
