Narrative:
Landed in a non-radio; no electrical power aircraft (1932 aeronca C-3) with a 4 knot tailwind after circling for 40 minutes for the pattern to clear to land into the wind as this was the aircrafts 2nd flight post restoration. The beechcraft multi-engine travelair was doing touch and goes in training exercises and against my better judgment I elected to land with the prevailing traffic. Entering the pattern as per aim/far guidance and landed long and after taxing to the end and turned off to clear the runway I noticed over my right shoulder that a beechcraft twin was taxing behind me. After I cleared the runway completely the beechcraft did a 180 degree turn on the runway and departed opposite direction and departed the area. After landing a mr. X approached me to inquire as to the incident and described the event from his perspective. His narrative to me was that the beechcraft landed behind me and came to a complete stop; then attempted to takeoff and at approximately 50 knots; aborted the takeoff roll when it appeared to him that they first noticed another aircraft (me) occupying the runway directly in front of them; stopping some 250-500 feet from me. This airport is a rural uncontrolled airport with an unmonitored CTAF of 6;000 feet length that is used by many agricultural aircraft and NORDO (non-radio) vintage and light sport aircraft. It is also used by many other aircraft types and uses; mainly training from other local airports in the area. See and avoid only seems to work when both aircraft have a radio. In my opinion very few pilots today consider an aircraft without a radio and bother to actually look out the window. The perception always seems to be; 'why don't you have a radio?' and somehow I have less rights to operate because of that fact in their eyes. I seriously believe a part of learning to fly should involve no-radio operation into and out of class east and/or G airspace to a complete stop.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: Aeronca and BE-95 pilots describe the events leading up to the BE-95 pilot landing behind the Aeronca without seeing him. The runway is long and the BE-95 pilot had planned a stop and go but rejects when the Aeronca is sighted at the end of the runway.
