Short field???
Its been a few years since I flew a light single but lets hear all your ideas for a really short field take off.
I once got a cherrytree out of a field after a forced landing by starting the take off run at 90 degrees to the proposed t/o run and turning into wind at around 15 mph. That seemed to work out pretty well although the strain on the noseleg must have been a bit ... ummm... Also I have seen people with the donkey at full chat holding on the brakes for about 20 seconds. Surely this would cause cavitation in front of the prop and nullify the effect of the 'full power/brakes on thing.
Over.
