I would like to ask, to any onlookers who might have the info:
Does the -17% figure still apply to minimum voltage, or is the minimum voltage for a class just based on the upper limits of the next lowest class?
For example, Q classes are limited to 4.23v * 6 (25.38v) max. Does that mean that the voltage parameters for S are 25.39v-33.84v? It may seem like an odd question, but it's not unlikely for a Q boat to run 5s, or a S boat to run 7s, T boat to run 9s, etc.
Thanks Keith and Mike!
Not a odd question at all Keith.
Here are the new class voltages that will appear with the update of the rulebook. The +/- 17% will go away.
N- 3.7 to 8.46
P- 11.1 to 16.92
Q- 18.5 to 25.38
S- 25.9 to 33.84
T- 33.3 to 42.30
