45degapparent,

I can't fault the facts in your posting and so I won't.

I also understand the sentiment that is expressed with it and I recognize that many have become irritated in a similar fashion. I too have become fed up with certain parties trying to be both in and out of the class, causing a huge amount of controversy that is quickly nearing its "enough-is-enough" point. It appears that this is giving rise to a backslash to anything related to the Viper or Australia and that is very regrettable.

Yet I feel Darren Bundock (poster Bundy) is very much innocent in this respect. I recently had a meeting with him and Carolijn Brouwer and discussed various issues related to the F16 with them.

I found them to be fully supportive of the F16 class and their concern was much more related to the enduring controversy then with the F16 class rules. On this area I think we all fully agree. The solution is therefore simple, keep what we got in the way of class rules structure and put an end to the endless controversies.

I feel that is also what Darren is saying in his posting.

I'm looking forward to working together with him and Carolijn in growing the class here in NL en EU
