Short (?) takeoff vid

[455 Bravo Uniform]

From a flight a few months ago. Not the shortest takeoff in the world, but short for me.

First and only time filming, using daughter’s GoPro. The plane had this black plastic thing stuck on the inside and as I was trying to remove it, it looked like a GoPro mount. So I left it on. Sure enough. So I charged it, attached it, and off we went.

I might edit a few other snippets and add them here later.

Sunshine.
Grass,
Distinct lack of snow.
sigh...
Thanks for sharing.

That was pretty short. One uncommonly known fact is that the distance from the start of one runway centerline dash to the start of the next centerline dash is 200 ft. By my count, you were probably under 600', maybe under 500'.

I think you’re right. If Foreflight is accurate:

Its not the brevity of your takeoff that counts, but how you fly it.

That’s no airplane, it’s a transverse helicopter!
