Default need a 3d plane for a saito 180

Guys,

I have heard that the SIG is built really lightly and wont take any abuse especially on landing. Also can the YellowAircraft Edge do 3D, it looks more like an IMAC plane. What do you guys say.

You know, it is built very light (that's why it flyes really well). If flown very tail heavy, perfect landings are hard, and a little engineering has to go into beefing up the gear and block.
If people want to fly a nice large, light, tail heavy plane, and wants it to stay together, then they should spend 10 times more and get a composite plane. I really get a little ticked, when people start ragging on a plane often for no good reason. How many hard flyers or 3D people stay within recommended engine size, NONE. How many people beef up landing gear and block before making harrier landings? Very few untill after damage has been done, and they rag about that.
Vipul,
Take whining with a big grain of salt, ask the whiner some questions and maybe it's all his/hers fault, not the design of the airplane.
I fly a U Can Do 3D with a YS120SC in the nose. Am I going to whine when it rips the firewall out, or now that my landing gear block has been ripped out? No, because I know I'm exposing the airframe to more strees than it was intended for.
