Ehhh Mike,
So Tim, How many times in the last five years has the F18 rating changed according to Texel? I'll answer that. NONE.
The correct answer is actually 2 times !
With respect to wind dependent ratings. Texel actually tried them 4 years ago but the RC's refused to use them and the racers refused to put pressure on the RC's to use them. So is this really a drawback inherent of a measurement based system ?
Researching facts and claims before mouthing off is a good advice for both you and Tim it seems.
To the other readers, a measurement based system is not necessarily static. Its describing function can be modified according to need. Texel and SCHRS for example have seen several revisions over their lifespans.
Lets have this discussion on facts rather then misconceptions, believes and ignorance.
