Accident: King Salmon AK. 10-Jun-2005. The commercial certificated pilot was departing on a river toward the southeast in the float-equipped aircraft. He said that the aircraft was on-step, when it began an un-commanded left turn. He attempted to counteract the turn by applying right rudder and right aileron, but there was no change. The pilot indicated that he aborted the takeoff by pulling the engine power to idle. The airplane continued a hard left turn, and the right wing struck the water. The pilot said the right wing was bent upward about 40 degrees at the right wing lift strut attach point. In the Pilot/Operator Aircraft Accident Report (NTSB Form 6120.1) submitted by the pilot, he indicated that after returning to the dock, he noticed a light wind of about 8 to 10 knots from the north. NTSB report ANC05LA082
