Bob,

Wouter's enthusiasm and energy have undoubtedly had a huge, positive impact on the progress of F16 class this far and I hope will continue to do so.

However, as the class grows, and increasing number of people have a strong, direct interest in the success of the F16 class. All that we're looking for is the ability to have an open, reasoned discussion about an F16 class rule in the official F16 forum. Why is that a problem?

Regarding copying features of the past: those who have expressed an opinion would like a change in the rule to make it closer to the F18 ruleset. Last time I checked, that class was doing pretty well, so yes, I want to do it the same old way and succeed.
