Default Should I re-do my Avistar wing?

I epoxied my wings, "had" the all wood version with no steel rod. Saturday I dumb thumbed mine while doing a low high speed turn toward me when the plane pitched down and toward me, I moved the stick to the left instead of under the low wing. She came down hard, wings broke in half, shattered the outside tips it hit so hard. The fuse was shattered almost half it's length. I'm fairly new so was my first plane and still am in shock. Like losing a dog. I liked the Avistar so much that I have one on order and should be here in a week. I have a new .46 Tower that was going to put in next week. Radio is fine, engine fine, one servo a little screwy now so will sell on e-bay... (just kidding).
