Yeah, your pilots might be a little concerned

The German Luftwaffe pitted a Bf-109 and an He-112 in flying contests, beginning in October 1935.

Of those flights, the Wikipedia article on the He-112 says: “During spin tests on 2 March, the Bf 109 V2 showed no problems while the He 112 V2 crashed. Repairs were made to the aircraft and it was returned in April, but it crashed again and was written off.”

Or, the Finnish VL Myrsky:

"The first of these (developmental aircraft) was completed on 30 April 1943, but crashed a week later, and the second suffered a wheels-up landing three months later, and broke up in the air shortly after resuming flight test. The third was evaluated in service, and, on 17 March 1944, lost both wings in a dive."
