Narrative:
I am taking off runway 18 [and there was] landing traffic [runway] 36. Listened to ASOS before and during taxi; wind calm. (Calm wind runway is 18.) taxied to runway 18; [the] windsock showed no wind; [and I] announced on unicom [that I am] taking off [runway] 18. Checked for landing traffic 18 [while] taxiing onto runway and I do not see or hear traffic. Looked down to bring up power and release brake. Looked down runway then checked airspeed and rotate. I then see airplane approaching to land [runway] 36. Since I am now above the other plane; I start left turn and continue to climb. I did not look for aircraft on base for 36 since I did not expect it.
