Default Short takeoff

Hi Guys,

Go he http://youtube.com/watch?v=Yn2jET1dcPY

To see a short video I did with the camera tied to the tail of my plane.
For reference, the stripes are 150 feet long, and I had a six knot
headwind.

Heh! I'm wondering if you can take off sideways across that runway?

Pilot your favourite minority to copilot: "Damn, that runway was
short"
Co-pilot: "Yuss, but it sure was wide!"

Cool but you could find a better place to mount the camera. The view
was rather limited. BTW, tell us more about the plane.

If I remember correctly the one of the guys from the Zenith got
in hot water with the tower for doing exactly that at Oshkosh
during the airshow.
