Just to make one thing clear after Wouters inflammatory soap box speak. The F16 rules dont allow any meaningful use of banana boards. Boards can not deviate more than 6 degrees from the vertical. But this discussion is about the A class.

Clearly the interest here is, as in F18 and should be in F16, to present a moderate and acceptable progression of development such that it keeps things interesting but doesn't price people out of the class. Whether you like it or not, the organization has some responsibility to the people and opinions they represent.



I agree with Jake, and I think most others do.
I have no doubt that the A-class will manage this well, just like they have in the past with the Wing and other things.
