Narrative:
During take-off, the wing tip of the aircraft contacted the surface of the lake, and it yawned towards a number of bystanders. The pilot managed to regain control of the aircraft, and aborted the take-off landing hard before he was able to taxi back to the shore. After the pilot had deplaned, the aircraft was towed away. Photos show damage to wing, but the extent of the damage remains unclear. The pilot was in the process of practising take-off's and landings.
