Where are you? F16s only
Anyone with time one their hands, how about starting and F16 class map at
http:/
This map thingy is quite interesting
http:/
We have welcomed a few people on the map that I was not aware of being F16 sailors.
Examples;
Simon Stannard Northwich, (England) Spitfire
Tim Montague-Jones , Sydney, New South Wales (Australia) - Taipan F16 Aus 099
Peter & Carol Eldridge Dubai, Dubai (United Arab Emirates) - Spitfire #134
Matt in Fairport (NY) USA - Building a Blade F16
Abie Loubser Cape Town, Western Cape (South Africa) Mosquito F16
Holger Siebke Kiel, Schleswig-Holstein (Germany) - Blade F16 on order
I'm still missing Dirk and his Gang in shanghai. Wouldn't it be cool to be the first registered beach cats in China ? And the signapore guys ?
So I'm bumping this post to encourage everybody to place a pin on the map of where they are.
Mind you this mapper is also very handy to decide which location is the best for a regional championship like the Europeans.

Dirk has placed himself and the Shanghai guys on the map.
How about those Singapore sailors ?

Eric,
I have acquired administrator rights to the Frapper map.
With respect to your request, we can do two things :
-1- You read the frapper help file and try to log on as yourself and edit your profile; Help = http:/
-2- I can delete your current profile and comments and you can announce yourself again on the frapper map as a new user with your new profile and picture. Be sure to remember your login credentials afterwards.
Your choice !

If it's the Gary I know from Grafham, it's a Silver Stealth F16 he is sailing.
Gary Smith from Eastbourne was sailing a Spitfire at the Cat Open at Grafham, as recently as October.

Yes that was me! 
Sailing Spitfire at Eastbourne and at the Grafham open.
Sorry for confusion we Smiths seem to get everywhere, didnt know there was another Gary sailing a Stealth though. 
Often read this forum in the hope of learning something!
Thought I would put us on the map and give Eastbourne a plug hoping you will come to our Cat Open 29/30 July.
There is always a good fleet of Spitfires 15-20.
I know F16 are a bit different to the Spitfire but I find the 'grandfathered' thing a strange term
