That's why I'm saying what I'm saying to what you're saying. I've been on both. The F18 is like being on vacation. I never get tired on that boat, unless I'm up all night writing a protest. And I'm not even in shape. I can one-hand the spin, and the sets/take downs are a snap by comparison once I get the bugs worked out.

Shorter mast, smaller 'chute... it's just plain less effort.

And the F16 is very likely to take off - look how long it took F18 to start really catching on here.
