Analysis
The acft nosed over and sank during a water landing. The float plane had approached nose high and upon initial touchdownon the lake the acft skipped/bounced. According to a witness it appeared that the plt was trying to extend his touchdownpoint. When the acft touched down a 2nd time the floats landed square but the right wing dipped, the acft cartwheeled and sank. It was determined after the accident that the acft landing gear was up. An inspection of the landing area was made and nothing out of the ordinary could be found.
