Mr. Blizzard: I've owned three 40% Carden Caps. The wings are not double beveled because the plane was designed and plans drawn before the 3D movement hit the US. It was one of the very first 40% kits you could get your hands on back in that day. The airleron surface area is smaller than your other planes due to the same reason. Once 3D hit, here comes the big surfaces and the large throws. Your post above says that you are getting 30% deflection, do you mean 30 degrees? If it's 30 degrees, you'll be more than fine for 3D. Your answers are waiting for you "in the air". Put the plane up, and see if you have enough airleron throw to do whatever rolling 3D manuever you want to do. Decide after that if you want to go back in and bevel the front edge.

Hope this helps,
