You know it's funny you should mention that, I remember either hearing or reading that Prettner used to regularly give plans to MAN, to get everyone flying his aircarft, get used to the way they looked, and also, just maybe, increase the "halo effect" around him.

The designs of F3A aircraft have nowadays become a bit of a guarded commodity and due to the rules being ***** backwards, we HAVE to pay extra for a competitive aircraft. Oh and when I say competitive, I'm not talking design just yet, this is just to make weight!

I can't help but feel that we've painted ourselves into a corner, and the way out presently is with $$$$$$....
