As far ab breaking a Europa in flight:

My partner designed a short wing Europa in X-Plane.

One thing that was a real eye opener was looking at stress lines seeing
just how much the tips of the wings get loaded negative (large twist
forces) with the flaps down if you go not much faster than flap limit
speed.

My bet is the wing would fail and the flaps would be in perfect shape.
