I am trying to get the wings to detach when the plane dives too fast. I also need to make them break off easier when they hit something.

you need to add a spring DOF to the part you want to break off under stress. Use the dofSpring to define the strength of the spring, and dofBreak to define the maximum displacement before the part will break from its parent. Higher numbers mean less likely to break. If you look at most wing models, you will see these are already defined. For instance, look at the DOFs for "LeftWing" in the Fw190A.sm
