150 mph, in a vertikal dive, with a GRADUALLY recovery, surely you'll reach a pretty high velocity before leveling out, accelerating all the time.
That is not a > 500 kg glider but a 3 ton machine with a not that much larger front surface.

Mass doesn't matter in vertical acceleration*. The speed doesn't instantly increase from below 150mph (second stall) to above x mph (aircraft breakup).
