For the complete F16 rule set go to :

http://www.geocities.com/f16hpclass/F16HP_class_rules.html

Note the rule :

1.1.2

For the construction, all materials and all methodes of construction are allowed when these
do not imply an unacceptable increase in risk of bodily harm or imply the operation of an unsafe craft.

This rules lets us be free but allows the F16 class to ban excesses like netting for trampoline that has a high risk of breaking fingers when the mazes are to large. In principle we are very open to doing things differently but as a designer you are required to design a SAFE craft.


The mast is totally governed by paragraphs 1.4 and 1.7 in total there are only some 7 general shape and length rules.

I hope this answers your question
