The float-equipped Otter was making a takeoff from Diana Lake with a minimum load. In the initial right turn, strong turbulence obliged the pilot to remain facing into the wind to gain altitude and stabilize the aircraft. On the second attempted right turn, the aircraft began to lose altitude, and the flight controls were no longer responding. The pilot went back to full power, one of the floats struck the ground, and the aircraft flipped over on to its back. The aircraft suffered significant damage.
