Narrative:
When flying my mooney M20-F in sussex field in delaware; I decided to fly a low approach on runway 4/22 to get a feel for the winds that were steady at 20 KTS. I radioed my first position 3 miles out from the field and requested traffic information. There was no response. I set up for a 45 to midfield downwind left traffic pattern for 4/22 and made at least 2 more radio calls on the CTAF frequency 123.0 stating my position and intentions to fly a low approach on 4/22. While executing the low approach a cessna 172 passed over the top of my airplane at the intersection of runway 4/22 and 31/13. He had taken off runway 31 without making radio calls; listening to radio calls; or checking for traffic.
