How about this rule change:  10 lbs planes Max, 0.61 2-Strokes or 1.20 
4-Strokes  There are more planes in that range then in any other 
range.   This would make more planes competitive and reduce the actual and 
Perceived cost of being a competitive pattern flier.

Ops, I forgot, the above rules did exist, they existed at a time when 
pattern contests drew more pilots then they do now..
