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 ? (:-))
