Hairy takeoff Tipsy Nipper

[lee-wave]

Videod this last weekend at a place called Barton Ashes NW of Winchester... was a bit concerned as the wind from the left was curling over the trees and not helping the lift off...

All's well that ends well they say.

Is that aircraft a two seater? Yonks ago we watched one land while storms passed by. 
The pilot’s young son was shoehorned into the front seat and very unhappy about getting back into the air!

A previous editor of pilot magazine had one and loved it. They are 1 seater (normally).

 

That takeoff looked nuts, but sometimes it's hard to get depth perception on that angle of filming
