Let me counter. I read the original post as "if Hobie or Nacra develop an F-16".....in accord with EXISTING F-16 rules. Kris Hathaway F-16 & F-18
Nowhere in the original post was it stated that meeting the min weight rule was a condition of entry for Hobie or Nacra. It is accepted that Hobie and Nacra will not build a F16 to the current min weight so to have a discussion about them being involved is to also have a discussion about why they would not be involved.
AHPC don't meet the min weight rule and you allow the Viper to be called a F16!
Can somebody who has the weights data please post it? it is a valid question that has not been answered before.
