The Beaver RX 550 ultralight, C-IEZU was taking off from a field near Kelowna for a local flight. After becoming airborne, at about 30 feet AGL, the aircraft started to turn to the right towards an obstacle. The pilot applied full left rudder and full left aileron but this failed to stop the right turn. The aircraft turned through about 200 degrees whereupon the pilot closed the throttle and shut down the engine, but was unable to reduce the right bank. The aircraft landed hard in a right banked attitude and was substantially damaged. The pilot was not injured.
