Apologies for thread drift It's nice to see this Ivank as Cliffs does the same thing in severe cases. I tried dive bombing in a Ju88 without the air brake a few times. Once was quite a bit higher (6500m) and pulled out way to hard to watch one of my wings fly clean off. But it's also neat to see just how the bent the airframe is when you do a nice G stress but not the insanity level. It makes the plane fly like a lame duck. (dog track / can't trim it / major loss of airspeed).
