The student pilot reported that he experienced an "unexpected high degree" of banking and controllability issues with the experimental, light-sport, weight-shift-control aircraft during the initial climb, so he decided to land. During the landing roll, the aircraft bounced. The aircraft then touched down on the nose landing gear, rolled onto the left wing, and then slid to a stop. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the left wing and the airframe. The student reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the aircraft that would have precluded normal operation.
Probable Cause: The student pilot's improper landing flare, which resulted in a bounced landing and wing strike.
