Aren't we going a little bit over the top here ?
This guy does ALOT of development and pays for it out of his own pocket. Most of it has already been incorporated into the new boats sold.
He has expressed his desire that his endeavours be kept confidential till his testing has been completed. I think that he has a full right to desire that considering in how many ways he is advancing the F16 design on his own.
This desire is not the result of being unsportsman like or whatever, but by garanteeing a quick and free flow of development. Lets face it, nobody wants a crowd looking on their fingers when they are experimenting. 3rd party suppliers are hesitant to participate if such development projects are scrutinized in public.
Personally I think it to be bad taste by the others if they can't wait a couple of months till the experimenting has been completed.
I'm sorry, but I think some of us are reacting like little children here.
