Tad, I think what appears to be N-20 sailors jumping ship to the F-18 is merely the fact that the development of the F-18 came into it's own and some of the folks sailing N-20s were in over their head as far as power goes. It's logical that when the F-18s developed, the smaller lighter guys and gals would go to a more manageable platform(See above post from Karl). It's still fun to blame JW for everything but it ain't his or the class' fault.It's about DEVELOPMENT which will probably turn this into a SMOD vs. Formula thread , which has been puked up a million times before, so let's not go there, here, another thread maybe.
