Taking off from a 700m grass runway, am just easing back on the yoke at 55 knots, when there is a sharp crack and a strong smell of burning.

Quick decision to reject and we slithered to a stop.

A fuse had blown, total non event, but it didn't feel like it when I decided to reject.

This is the only time I have had to make a split second decision in an aeroplane. I've had other things go wrong, but always had thinking time to work it out.
