Come on Marty...tell the truth!

The Hustler took 150 feet...you measured it and YOU LOST THE BET TO ME! (We bet on the takeoff distance).

Actually, the grass popped the nose up a little and the plane lifted off at a real slow speed. What amazed us was that it kept flying instead of doing the expected gentle hop before lifting off. Tom just kept it going and up it went!

The landing was amazing too. Tom only used 300 feet of the runway.

Really, a beautiful sight and Marty O owes me...is that what O stands for?
