I've just built one, I can't say I'd be worried about taking it or another one out in a blow.

Anything can be made stronger, theres a heap of little tricks that aren't in the plans that I have learnt from a couple of different sources, one being Phill Brander who has built nearly a handful of them.

I will build another one, using some of the tricks I missed out on the first time.

The earliest Taipans are still doing the rounds with the latest factory built boats and still posting top placings.

Regards
