Your nosewheel should have been high enough to obscure the rest of the runway: if it wasn't, then you were either too fast or (more likely) in a full stall too high up. Trust me -- that happens a lot in real-life primary flight training as well. Still, that's an impressive landing distance. I'm having trouble getting very far under 350 feet myself, but I'm probably a little reluctant to drop it so hard (my posterior still has a strong sense memory of some of my student landings) -- I'm also flying with the mouse, since my yoke and rudder pedals are at home, but I don't think that should make a difference. If anyone wants a real challenge, try landing the Cub across the runway instead of along it. It should be easily doable with the 200-foot wide runway, but I haven't quite succeeded yet.
