Does anyone know which of the two (DA40 and RV6) was departing and which one was joining crosswind?

BTW there is no way my TB20 can reach 1100ft by the end of the runway. Well, maybe in 50kt headwind Normally about 300-400ft.

A departure should be protected from crosswind traffic provided the crosswind traffic joins correctly above the numbers and at circuit height.

Obviously an Extra 300 could hit the circuit height over the numbers but one would hope that an E300 pilot would be aware of the less than stellar wisdom of doing that.
