Hello,

Yesterday I landed and took off from a very narrow runway (41 feet x 3500). On the landing, it was hard to find because the trees were tall very close to the edges, but I had the most trouble taking off.

As soon as I lifted off, my Lance was pushed left and right. Not sure if because of the wind gusts (there were some) or because the tall trees were causing some extra convective action. Or else?

Any thoughts/suggestions? I would like to go there again but not sure about my experience with the runway.

Thanks!
