Weight Question

[Terry Brox]

I am not embarrased to say what my vote is. I voted to keep the weight the same at 11 lbs. I felt that it should not be an issue since I have never seen a scale at a contest except for the NATS. I fly in the advanced class. Chears, Terry

  Don't think it's a good idea to provide the "By Who's", however, I would be interested in the class breakdown as well.

    That means a 40 lb whatever to dodge, trainers at 15 lbs are bad enough, to be dodging. 
     Seems like that capability already is at the CD's discretion. 
    Would be a lot better/safer if we just specified a reasonable number and controlled it that way. 
    I also would like to see who, by class , voted what way on those questions.

      According to the rules survey results , the question on should
      the weight limit be raised received   74 Yes, 111 No, votes.

      There is a proposal to add language to the effect of:
      ~The contest director has option of deleting weight & size limits
      for Sportsman class...such deletion must be published in ...
      advance...model must conform to AMA weight limits.

        I fully understand that it was not submitted by NSRCA. My question was, Has anyone submitted a weight change personally? I also think it would enlightening to know,since the vote margin was close. How many votes For and Against the weight change came from each individual Class? But I don't expect that information will be made available.
