I loved my 35% Carden Cap. Built it about 8 years ago. In its life it had both a 3w 100 and later a DA 100. Its best 3d maneuver was an inverted harrier. I am a sport flyer - no IMAC, no competition. The Carden is engineered to take a lot of stress, especially the fuselage toward the tail. The weakest part is at the trailing edge of the fuselage. This is where it will likely break when you crash. You can build it a little lighter than the plans call for.
