Narrative:

Arrived XA30 local. Advised runway 3 was active runway and landed. Returned XE00, noticed a plane departing runway 21. Wind was almost calm but windsock favored runway 3. While walking to my airplane, a takeoff was done on runway 3. I taxied to runway 3 and another airplane followed me. Preflight check was completed. The aerostar called in asking unicom the active runway. Unicom said it was runway 21. Aerostar transmitted 6 mi, straight-in runway 21. At this point in time I was taxiing to the runway, maybe just turning on the runway. I believed there was time to depart, make my turn and be clear of traffic. I had a similar experience at a tower controled airport with no problem. As I completed my standard left turn, the aerostar passed above and in front of me. I had transmitted as I was turning on the active 'departing runway 3.'
