Incident Overview
A pilot reported that during the takeoff rotation, which occurred at 44 knots, the aircraft initiated a slow turn to the left. The pilot characterized this as a torque stall, which caused a wing stall. As a result, the left wing struck the ice surface. The pilot subsequently aborted the takeoff, during which the right float struck a mud bank.
Aircraft Equipment
The aircraft was equipped with a Robertson STOL kit. According to the owner's manual, the takeoff performance at 59 degrees Fahrenheit is 1,090 feet and 32 knots indicated airspeed when using Robertson's recommended technique.
Circumstances
The incident occurred during the takeoff phase. No further details about the aircraft, operator, location, date, or time were provided in the source. The pilot's statement is the primary account of the events.
