I had thought that maybe a sudden tail wind had reversed the effective correction of my aileron deflection during take-off, causing the right wing to dip harder instead of leveling off. Does this make sense to anyone with more experience on an aircraft like the B-4? You had probably just barely reached flying speed. When you deflect an aileron, it increases the effective angle of attack of that wing. The tip probably stalled, and since the other wing was still flying, the tip you were trying to pick up, instead dropped to the ground. The lesson you should learn from this is that until you are at a reasonable speed (i.e., able to pick up the tail and roll on the mainwheel), use opposite rudder to pick up a dropping wing tip, not aileron...
