I’ve been in and out of Basin Harbor in a 180HP Sundowner, a Sierra, and a Cessna150. It’s not a confidence inspiring strip, as it often feels soggy and soft when everything else is dry. None of those planes achieved anything like Flight Manual performance on takeoff. After the first time I used soft field technique for all takeoffs. I’m no fan of the “Hershey Bar” tribe and wouldn’t take one in there unless solo and light on fuel. Certainly not with 3 3/4 adults and only a little over an hour out of full tanks. The 200HP long wing Arrow does a little better, still not my cup of tea. I hypothesize an early over-rotation without a soft field flap setting and a sub Vx climbout, getting on the backside of the power curve (bad place for hershey bars) with predictable results.
