Hello John, good to see that you've succeeded to log on.
<br>
<br>Welcome to the forumboard about F16 HT. I assume from you post that you've read the draft rules. Otherwise you wouldn't know what the : " rated sailarea" concept was. I saw the report on the Stealth performance with respect to F18's and international tornado on the web. Sounds very much like waht we're trying to achive.
<br>
<br>One question : why do you feel the need to regulate a maximum mast length. Would light air performance self- regulate the maximum mast length ? (I assume that brute sailarea is king in light air, a ver long mast would lack in these conditions)
<br>
<br>I assume that you're for allowing Carbon masts and that you are satisfied with 100 Kg's minimum weight for the 2-up configuration. Just right in between very high tech and low tech. Am I correct in these conclusions ?
<br>
