I have never landed my ES-P on grass, nor would I (given a choice).   I suggest you choose your course of action after walking up to one and pushing side to side on the nose.  It's a truly wonderful airplane in most other respects.

George asked:
    Does anyone know if there are limitations to landing the ES on grass strips?  Is it advisable to remove the wheel pants and/or put larger tires on the main and nose gear?

    George, I try to stay off grass. I have in the past but it shaacks the $%#& out of the panel and nose gear, which is connected to the motor mount. In a pinch yes. Not on a regular basis
