Mmuaha... - oops, sorry!
Now you know how my earlier learnings went and felt on the Albatros V-strutters -
it was a long way to "understand" the fragility of it's lower wings, and to learn to know
how far I can go. Good that we have more than just one lives, isn't it?

Did you use the blip switch? You should perform steep dives only with much reduced throttle,
or blipped (on planes without throttle).
