Ofcourse we'll have to wait till all votes have come in, but maybe Wouter should prepare to contact Swell Cats and try to influence their new implementation of the Spitfire that the website is talking about (according to Kirt)
<br>
<br>I voted "agree" , but I feel that there should be some garantee that the Spitfire is limited to the current setup under the grandfathering. Else the Swell Cats people could use the exception made for the current Spitfire as a loophole to "cheat" the F16HP rule with their new Spitfire. No disrespect intended to anyone.
<br>
<br>Maybe create an OPEN F16HP framework which includes both the regular F16HP's as well as the grandfathered designs which are not full compliant. The normal F16HP races are then reserved for true F16HP's.
<br>
<br>All F16HP class races could be held as OPEN F16HP racesiIn the beginning and later on, when the class has grown, we can decide which designs will be permanently grandfathered in and which are phased out depending on their actual performance. This will give us time to evaluate each design properly and allow for a great flexibility in allowing in other designs which are non compliant to some larger extend.
<br>
<br>This particular setup will be waterproof against a grandfather based elusion of the F16HP rule framework
