There is no chance of the F16 rules being amended for at least 24 months. It was agreed at the last review, about a year ago, that the rules would remain fixed for a period of 3 years. It may be that this is an item that should be reviewed and if it needs changing it will be down to a majority vote of the membership.

This will have to join a list of items that we are putting together for possible amendment. Being such a new set of rules we are finding areas that need tightening or clarifying all the time. This is particularly true as the F16 GC start to put the measurement forms and documentation together.

On a personal note (not as a member of the GC) I'll speak slightly out of turn and say that if this list becomes overly long, or there is a major failing of the rule that penalizes the class in some way, it should be possible to convene an EGM to deal with the problem(s) before the fixed rules period is up.
