Rick,
I've only got 40 hours on the Tri-gear Europa (1,800 on the Mono-wheel) but it
sounds to me like you need to hold a bit more aft pressure on the stick. I have
found that the Tri-gear leaves the ground at 45 or even as low as 40, even on
grass, depending on how close cut it is. You really need to make sure the nose
wheel is off the ground as much as possible as it causes tremendous drag when
on grass, to the extent that if the grass is long enough and wet enough you
won't even get off.
