I've heard of emergency landings, but never an emergency takeoff. You never NEED to get anywhere in a plane.

That being said, you didn't say what runway's you would be using. If that's 20 knots gusting to 30 knots right down the runway then what's the problem? If it's a direct crosswind with no other runways avalible you probably physically won't be able to make the flight beacuse you wouldn't be able to land the thing going straight.

I don't have any traumahawk time either, but if it were going to be in a 152 I wouldn't do it. If I were in something heavier, say an Arrow, then I would look at things a little closer.

I wouldn't say it'd be worth it in a plane that small, though.

Cheers
