Narrative:
It has been my observation that in light winds aircraft land uphill on runway 34 and depart on runway 16 and several aircraft did this morning. I taxied for a runway 16 departure and 2 aircraft were on the unicom frequency. An air carrier EMB120 reported on final for runway 34, the other aircraft advised he would do a 360 degree turn for spacing, and I reported holding for the EMB120 to land and that I was departing runway 16. As the EMB120 cleared at midfield, I announced I was departing runway 16 and, although I looked both directions, I was convinced the other aircraft would be landing on runway 34 as the EMB120 had and must be a long way out. The EMB120 pilot told me to 'stop' and I did with the nose of the aircraft on the runway as the chieftain went over me and landed on runway 16. I apologized and the pilot said he had no problem going around me. I should have remained clear of the runway until I had verified the position of the second inbound aircraft and or looked more carefully for traffic.
