I had a friend with a CH-701 with Tundra tires on it. We made some amazing off airport flights in it.. It was tricycle gear which drastically reduces your ability to do rough landings.
We flew in and out of several really short grass areas. The tundra tires let you land in sand and marsh areas that conventional tires would be disastrous to attempt. That plane is
now in Africa with a missionary group. The tail draggers are more difficult to take off and land initially than tricycle gear planes. Takes some experience to get good at it.. Blitzfike
(P.S. I'm too old and stove up to fly by myself anymore... )
