I done it on a lot of planes

I've seen it happen on lots of planes.  It still always amazes me that someone would pull that hard.

IIRC the Yak9U will go creaking into the very low 500s in a dive.

Don't yank so hard.

I've lost ailerons at around 400+. You must have been yanking like a teenager to pornography.

When we get the Yak3 you find it (high speed high G wing removal) even easier...............

...Because the "high speed" will be higher.

Be smoother... Gentle application is much nicer to the wings.  :P
