Remember to include the loading etc.- with the 80 hp. there is a dramatic 
difference between 2 up and baggage, and solo no baggage.   Leaps into the 
air before you realise in the latter case.  13 seconds is my  average normal 
count from stationary to airborne with little wind, 2 up, 15 deg. setting on 
a good surface.  If acceleration is constant and assuming 50kts lift off, 
that comes out at 182 yds. 

-pity  distances along runways are not marked - perhaps one can count the 
lights iif  any, or  borrow- a golf range ? (:-))
