I thought of that question also and I'll check tonight when I get home. I
would think that a "normal" takeoff would be to Vy and a short field to Vx.
But then again sometimes "normal" has many definitions!

Thanks. Are both takeoffs to Vx?

The one I looked at was an Archer II POH.

25 degrees of flaps, standard conditions, dry, paved, level runway was
about
1500 ft over 50 ft obstacle

0 flaps, same conditions takes about 1850 ft over a 50ft obstacle

Those were the only two configurations given.

I didn't compare ground roll distances but that would indeed be
interesting.

And you are correct, the Super Cub is impressive. I did my tailwheel
checkout in a SC. We never used the flaps off, flaps on, flaps off
technique, but even so, once you break ground you can pull the stick
back
as
far as you want and it just goes UP!
