DURING THE TAKEOFF RUN ON CALM WATER, THE FLOATPLANE PILOT NOTICED THREE PYLONS AHEAD. HE FELT THERE WAS INSUFFICIENT SPACE TO ABORT, SO HE CONTINUED THE TAKEOFF. JUST BEFORE REACHING THE PYLONS, HE ROTATED THE AIRPLANE IN AN EFFORT TO LIFT-OFF & CLEAR THE OBSTACLES. THE PLANE BECAME AIRBORNE, BUT IT STALLED AND THE LEFT WING DROPPED AND STRUCK A PYLON. THERE WAS NO REPORTED MECHANICAL FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION OF THE AIRPLANE BEFORE THE ACCIDENT.
