Steve's Video Of The Day: "Banged-Up" Beaver!

OK, folks, this happened June 7, 2009, at Alaska's famous Lake Hood. Sit back, grab a wobbly pop, watch the vid a couple of times, analyze it, and leave a comment as to the "errors"! I have my own ideas, what are yours........

Cheers,

Steve

"Banged-Up" Beaver!

WTF?
It looks like they knew each other and where showing off. Not enough forward speed...plane wasn't even on step yet.
Was the pilot hurt?

Overloaded, crosswind takeoff? And as the other comment indicated they seem to have been showing off a little.
 
Thats to bad ruined a good looking beaver. Ther are three things in my book that would make a good pilot. Good hands and feet and common sense. This guy/gal is lacking all of them. Happy flying Steve.

Initiated take-off, climbed onto step, didn't check control column forward(probably incorrect trim setting),controls left unchecked, rode too far aft,lending to poor forward vis,didn't sound like full-power application, slight breeze right to left, no aileron input,realized bad take-off path, panicked, rolled the wrong float further aggrivating left turning tendancy, horsed it off the water going too slow....game over.

I heard a news report today that there was 4 passangers (all OK) and two dogs (status unknown) on board along with one very lucky pilot.
