That F14 sails with a 13 sq. mtr main right and a 14 sq.mtr spi ?

Sure enough it will need a rating equal or lower than the Taipan 4.9 cat rigged (no spi). You got only 1.5 sq.mtr. less on the upwind and 12.5 sq.mtr. more area on the downwind. What was the F14 overall weight again. 50 or 60 kg 's ? 2.15 mtr width ?

Mathematics suggest that it will end up quite near to the F18's in real performance. In light airs certainly. That rating of 88 was a joke. I expect it to drop to 75 or below that in time. Physics predict that.

So when will your F16 be ready ?
