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
