Narrative:The privately-operated, amateur-built Glastar aircraft, registration C-GMLE, was taking off from Six Mile Lake on a VFR flight to Lake Rosseau/Cameron Bay. Shortly after take-off, at tree-top height (approximately 50 feet), the aircraft encountered windshear and stalled with a right wing drop.
