The Grob 115 G2s at CSWAFC used to have a similar bite and there were a few 'go-round' accidents that ended up in a mess cartwheeling. It usually was the result of sudden application of power with little to no rudder input, the short rudder arm and relatively high power combined with low speed meant it yawed and rolled savagely and in the process a wing strike was highly likely with then a spectacular return to earth. Luckily those things were built like formula one crash cells so only minor injuries at worst.
