I disagree..

The spirit of the class rules as i understand them is not for this to ba a manufacturer class. The taipan was not originaly designed nor is it maximized under the rules of the F-16 class. I-f someone were to build a boat of there own design and build the boat in thier own backyard that person would be the manufacturer not some huge company who's sole purpose is to turn a profit. Mind you designers competing against eachother will undoubtably cause further development in the class/ faster craft, but the spirit of the rules as i read them does absolutely call for the class to have it's own insignia or logo...
