If a manufacturer is actually interested in producing the F16, but would like to discuss an amendment to the rules, this is the worst way to go about it. All this discussion is doing is creating instability, which would not be in the interests of any manufacturer commencing F16 production.

Get in contact with the Governing Council. If you are indeed a manufacturers representative, you've done a crap job of helping that manufacturer get into the class with any possibility of amendments. I don't consider an internet forum a very professional avenue for a manufacturer or its representatives to bring this up with the council.
