Taking off the short way across...

[Jim Logajan]

I think this should be filed in the "We don't need no stinking line up and wait" category; just take off across the runway, not down its length:

My plane wont do that.

That would be about the "widest runway".... 50 feet long, 2500 feet wide.

Regardless of runway length, looks like he should have used more right rudder at :20...

Not to worry about crosswinds...usually...

 

[BillTIZ]

He used part of the taxiway, not all runway.

My question is does it have more than a gallon or fuel aboard? And, will it do that with 2 people + 180 lbs of baggage, with 5 hours fuel on board? If so, that would be quite awesome!
