Dear Phil,



Maybe I can answer some questions:



Q:2. What is the overall addition to the weight of a T4.9 when you add a kite kit. Including all fitting and lines.

A: The overall weight of my spi setup (with inter17 snuffer+pole) 5.7 kg



Q 4. What does the F16 Stealth weigh all up. Has JohnP got it down to 100kg. I think this is a big ask for a manufacturer.

A: Dont't know yet, but probably it will be measured at texel, in june.



Q 5 If you increased the min weight to 110kg what type of increase in jib area could you get and reach the same texel rating.

A: The "rated" jib size could then grow from 3.33 to 3.62 m2



Remark, last year, when the class had to be formed, I already asked to let the minimum weight be 105 or 110 kg, otherwise it would be quite qostly to transfer a Taipan 4.9 to real F16 specifications. But voted was for 100 kg. min weight, including spi.



Regards,

Geert
