Weight Limit

[vicenterc at comcast.net]

Bob:
Yes, it is just a definition.   It is important that if you want to break a record (speed, altitude, cross country flying, etc) the "model" has to be below 5 kg.  Probably, if the most common rule in this hobby.  I found that went a visit the museum and started to check on different models that broke records.  There was a curator there and I asked him the question.  He respond was the model has to be below 5 kgs.  Interesting.

Vicente, that may be "a" definition, but surely not "the" definition of a model. If so, then ANYTHING greater than 5kg is not a "model"....I really don't think so....
Do you think that's the intent?

I learned last year at the AMA museum that officially a model airplane has to be below 5 kilos or 11 lb. I noticed that all records using model airplanes requires that the model be below 11 lbs. Therefore, I think is going to be difficult to to increase the 11 lb limit.
