Confidence Rating: Accident investigation report completed and information captured
Narrative:
The pilot reported that during a minimum unstick speed determination test flight, the aircraft lifted off to about five feet and, just prior to achieving aileron effectiveness, the aircraft rolled to the left. The left wing dropped and contacted the runway surface, resulting in minor damage to the wingtip and outboard trailing edge of the aileron. The pilot continued the takeoff and returned for landing without further incident.

Probable Cause: Minimum aircraft control exceeded during takeoff test flight, which resulted in dragging a wing on the runway surface.
