At approximately 08:17 on the morning of 03 March 2021, the Wag-A-Bond amateur-built aircraft took off from Barron Lake, near the municipality of Gore, Quebec, bound for the Lachute Aerodrome (CSE4), Quebec. The pilot was going to meet one of the aircraft’s co-owners to conduct other flights during the day.
When the aircraft took off from the frozen surface of the lake, westbound, the flaps were set to 40°. The aircraft climbed to nearly 50 feet above ground level (AGL), close to the north shore of the lake, and began turning left with the flaps still at 40°. The aircraft entered a spin to the left and struck the surface of the lake in a near-vertical attitude, with the left wing contacting the surface first
In the occurrence flight, the higher drag caused by the flaps being set to 40° limited the aircraft’s speed during the climb. The engine torque at full power caused the aircraft to roll to the left; the slipstream on the stabilizer and rudder caused the aircraft to yaw to the left. When the pilot began a low-speed left turn by applying the controls and left pedal, it is likely that the aircraft stalled, sending it into an incipient spin. With the aircraft at approximately 50 feet AGL when control was lost, it was not high enough for the pilot to avoid collision with the frozen surface of the lake.
