Engine quits just after take off - video

Full disclosure: this was completely my fault. I am already aware of the mistakes I made and have learned from them. I am posting this that others may learn from my experience and not make the same mistake(s) I did. Please keep your comments respectful. Thank you.


Full description is also in the video but the crux of it is, I made the bad decision to taxi into position for take off with a nearly empty tank and then forgot to switch to the full tank.
