Yes - it's addressed on the build log. I had added too much 'toe in' and after taking almost all of the toe back out, the plane taxis great. Check my second vid on this plane after I did some more work on it and you can see. It's a great kit and a great plane, I'm sure you'll enjoy!
Great kit for what it is, great value. Not the most scale, that would be MRAero. Really depends on what you want. I made a lot of modifications, you can find the build on wattflyer search for unionville beaver
GeoTex is a brand name for asphalt underlayment fabric. This type of product is being used more an more for inexpensive RC fields in the South Western US. Some good info I found here: tomlaird.com/articles/airfield/airfield_construction.htm
The video is of the LEAF RC field in Longmont, Colorado. I hope to capture and post another video of this plane with the 'hopping' problem resolved, new motor, and paint.

Max have you got the "hopping" problem solved? Your beaver turned out nice. I'm just finishing up my control surfaces on my wings.

Nice video. Could you give some info on the runway geo-textile please.
Also where about is this located ? It looks like somewhere up north.
Thanks.
