Thank you for your thorough analysis.

the stiffness seemed quite good, but apparently the weight of the wings was stronger than this stiffness). I have a problem to check how these wings behave during flight. I'll try to connect the wingtips with a thread above the fuselage.
Overall, your remarks seem to be correct.
Why inverted V-tail? I was afraid to place such a heavy element above the fuselage and the wings. I thought that if the tail is not exactly made, the model will lose its balance. But yes, of course you are right that such a construction always causes some damage to the tail on landing.
Next time I'll do a normal V-tail.
