Your poll only shows kits, but the subject is not that specific.

I am quite certain that if you included ARFs the Wild Hare 41% Extra 300 would be at or near the top of the list for 3d performance. Ask anyone who has flown one.

Kyle flew the heck out of his. I would say between him and Bill Hemple that is like proof in the pudding.

Yes, the poll was intended to help with the choice of 40%ers available in kit form. My original post specifies kit only. I just ordered the Carden 540 kit today. I'm sure out of the ARFs available the Wild Hare Extra is one of the top choices.

Well you know even a monkey could jump out of an airplane. Just ask the Army. I wish Carden would update the Cap design. That or if someone would come out with a Cap PAK kit I would jump on that.

What would Dennis need to update? Other than the motor box, it is just like all the other Cardens. I don't really think he will do much with the Cap, due to the fact they don't sell to many of them anymore. I wish that wasn't true. I love mine.

I have both a 40% Carden Edge and 40% Carden Cap and they both rock for hardcore 3D. The Cap is a little more wild than the Edge and does everything a bit faster and more crisp. You can't go wrong with either.
