Narrative:

The tower cleared me to depart on runway 14. Runways 14 and 18 both intersect at their departure ends. When I taxied into position, I lined up on runway 18 instead of runway 14. It was not until I was airborne that I realized what I had done. Tower informed me of mistake when I was approximately 200 ft over the end of runway 18.
