Default JD Enterprise Lavi - test flight problems

Hello guys,

a friend of mine built this Lavi:

and here is what happend in his test flight:

fortunately the plane is repairable and will be ready soon.

We would like to know a few things:
1. anyone has any expirience with this plane ? CG \ control throws ? canard incidence ?
2. any ideas what might have happend ? the builder says he thinks he had a lot of canard control (possibly way too much). i didnt witness the plane myself.

Any tips about this plane would be more than welcome, before the next flight attempt !
thanks guys.
