So the first question is really: Will F16 reach its goal with the current builders?

If yes then who cares if the big builders come and play?

If he answer is no, then the following needs to happen:-

I think the class needs to work out why a major builder is not involved or even expressing a desire to be involved.

Then the class should assess if they want to make the changes needed to get the big builders interested.

If the answer is no, then the class will just have to be happy with the current state.

And the big builders can continue to make robust beach cats and not these mysterious racing cats Wayne speaks of!
