Wink It happened to me,so beware!!

I,m presently based in Florida finishing my PPL prior to commencing my CPL training.
On Tuesday night I decided to take the Warrior for a flight.Shortly after takeoff(at 200 feet),the engine started missing.By 300 feet,it was losing power.I managed to turn and land back on another runway.
I stopped on the grass just short of a fence.
What I learned from that is not to lose sight of the importance of staying "in control" of the a/c at all times.
Also I cannot stres enough the importance of thinking about what one would do in a similar emergency every time you take off.Something to think about next time your about to rotate!!
