Narrative:
Having relanded at this little used; public-use airport to adjust manually my plane's aileron trim tabs; I restarted; scanned the sky; and announced my intended departure on runway 29. I heard no reply. I taxied the 40 ft from the ramp to the runway for a mid-field take-off; needing just 500 ft of the 6;000 ft runway. While applying power on take-off roll; I spied a small cessna pass overhead at about 300 ft and slightly to the right going around. After lifting off; I transmitted 'sorry' and heard no reply. The cessna turned crosswind. After I climbed out and turned southeast to depart; I saw the cessna turn onto its right downwind (right-hand traffic for runway 29) and announce position. It also announced on its long base leg.
