I've seen Bob do his engine out maneuvers many times. He knew that
airplane, its limits and its requirements. He probably remembers more
about that airplane (which is now at the Smithsonian as I understand)
than I've ever known about the Deb. He used to read these news groups
but I've not seen him for a while.

What kind of aircraft did he use? I'm not good at recognizing small
aircraft. It certainly was surprising to see what he did with it; I
didn't think that such aircraft could do that.

There's another video on the same site of a small aircraft that snaps
its wings off pulling too many g's, which proves that airframes can be
overstressed. Both wings snap at the same time, which at least
implies that they were consistently engineered.
