will it take off in less than 100 feet?

I don't have a distance figure but guys who have flown an O-540 powered
Bearhawk say that by the time you are finished putting in the power, you
are airborne. Bob Barrows' 2nd prototype with the 260hp lyc weighs in
at 1270 empty with a constant speed prop. Wing area = 180 square feet.
You do the math. The flaps are around 8 feet long, and go down 50
degrees.
