Thanks for the post. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> For those who aren't familiar, the Taipan is the original standard. The F16 is based on this established platform (i.e. F16 is adapted from the Taipan). The standard is dropping slightly now that Jim Boyer has retired, however even with the two kg increase at minimum weight the Taipan is still going to be one of the lightest F16’s available. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
