There's a generally-recognised expansion factor
if you want to translate FT2 designs for FB1 or
later; I think you need to increase mass by
100% or thereabouts.

The codes I've listed are not official GZG ones
and represent a mixture of conventions; if
nothing else they can act as bait to get the
list talking.
