I am limited on my knowledge of what is out there, but has anyone placed a carbon stick on an F16 platform yet?


About 25% of all the F16's sailing in the world have a carbon mast. Mostly Stealths, but a few one-offs and now a few Blades are sporting them as well. They have been part of the F16 class from the very beginning.

And since the blades and stealths seem to be around min weight already, if they do go carbon, where would you add the weight?

Part of it at the top of the mast to get at the minimal required F16 mast tip weight.
