That video is seriously scary stuff. Line up on finals, select full flaps, and the control column is yanked forwards out of your hands. All you have to do to recover is pull hard back (if you can pull that hard), raise the flaps a bit and reduce power!

Maybe the Wright brothers got it right after all: at least with a canard, you can see the control surfaces. But then you can't see the ice build up on the wing...
