That quote is interesting, they wont run off the end of the runway noseup, they will get airborne with minimal ground roll, what happens next is more dependant on handling, I did always get the impression a Piper might never get airborne with the nose held in the air.
Q, that beat up old venturi driven thing might have been the best performing of the bunch, it certainly was very lightly equipped!
