> The '46 models still had to be hand propped. It worked very well. They didn't have a radio it those days. No radio, no starter, no generator, and no battery probably shortened the take-off roll.

Our J3 usually takes off in about 150 metres - it mostly depends on wind and pilot+passenger weight.

Btw, I learned yesterday how to take off with a Cessna in less than 100m ...
