Welcome!
Most U.S. aircraft share a particular trait, the ability to dive well and pick up tremendous speed. Make sure you have trimmed your plane so that you are not having to give rudder, aileron or elevator input. Yes, it's a demanding process and you will constantly trim the elevator, but that's how real pilots did it. Keep your throttle wide open and adjust prop pitch so that the engine does not over speed, but maintains a safe rpm. That's about all you can do as each aircraft will at some speed reach the point at which air compression forces will buffet the airframe and eventually lock up the control surfaces or simply rip away wing or tail surfaces.
