 If you go to the Dist 3 champs  and Van Putte is the CD he will weigh you and measure you. Been there and had it done.  By the way I had to switch to my backup because of it.

I haven't seen the weight/2 meter rule enforced yet at a contest other then the NATS.   I'll be one to fess up that I (had) an 11+lb guppy.   I am working diligently to get it under 11lbs ONLY because there is some faint POSSIBILITY that I MIGHT get to go to the NATS this year.  AND it flies better lighter.

>   Jimmy I agree with you here. My Enigma pattern design is 11 3/4 pounds and is almost 13 pounds wet. It flies like a hippo in a tuttu. The OS 160 is plenty of power but the plane simply isn't as nimble as what we are used to
