Default trying to fly my cub

I've been trying to fly my cub which I've just finished but it hasn't been going that well. I'm a newbie who doesn't live anywhere near to a club, but I've got a fellow helping me who's been involved in the sport for quite some time.

Here's the situation.

This has happened to us both times we flew the plane.

We begin our take off roll, lift off, nice and straight, but climbing quite steep. We apply a little forward elevator and then the right wing drops and the nose heads straight down. We pull back on the stick to try and recover but no go. First time just broke a prop, 2nd time we damaged the wing near the root. Damage not too bad and will be ready to go in an evening.

So far I've enjoyed building it more than flying it. I would really appreciate any suggestions you may have.
Thanks
