It's not as good on a rough field as a C-150 or C-152, because you can't get the nose up in the air to take the weight off the mains. There are no flaps either, so it's a bumpy ride if the field is not real smooth.

On pavement it gets off fairly well, I don't know exactly what the ground roll is but it's maybe 20% more than a 152 or a 150.
