| Re: 10 ft. take off roll? Probably forty-five or fifty-five feet. Each one of those persons has to be at least five or six feet tall. |

| Re: 10 ft. take off roll? If the man closest to the plane is 6 feet, I calculate 30 feet max for the take off roll. The plane rolled 5 times the distance of that man's height before becoming airborne. If he is 5 feet tall, then we are talking a 25 foot roll!

| Re: 10 ft. take off roll? Fairly certain that those are Aviat Huskies. The rights for the Super Cub were bought by Aviat then they modified them for bush flying. The most noticeable difference are the tundra tires and flaps. They are also farking expensive. When I flew a Maule M5-235 the take off and landing roll was around 300'. And yes, in Moultrie, GA at the Maule factory they take off in the hanger and are airborne before leaving it. The runway has grass growing in the cracks because it is not used much. Most use the ramp. |

| Re: 10 ft. take off roll? The Chief Flying Instructor of the school where I learnt took off into a fierce Westerly. He was in a 7GCBC and took off in about 30 feet. This day was freakishly cold for this part of Australia - it snowed in places it had no right snowing. Most GA people grounded themselves. He went straight up, more or less, then inched forward, backed off the throttle, and came straight down and landed where he started his takeoff roll. The mains touched down with a groundspeed of maybe 2-3 knots. Superb.
