revved her up for take off bit of elevator it turned left rapidily had to give full right rudder in air about 2 feet turned to left flipped over and flew into bund on edge of runway took her home fixed the bit of damage a friend who is top flyer took it off next weekend and it done exactly the same.
Starry,
This sounds a lot like a stall and spin entry on take off. I wrecked a Lanier Laser 200 on the first few take offs. It was heavy and underpowered. After fixing it a couple of times, I finally made a successful take off. I just let it build up plenty of speed and let it fly off the runway. I was flying from grass and holding up elevator to keep the plane from flipping, I was inducing a snap roll on take off!

What kit is it?
What is the wing area?
How much does it weigh?
