FAI Weight Thread

So, based on the info in this thread, I guess it is legal to remove the
battery before weighing a non-electric plane. That would solve our problems.

Matt,

 

I'll bet there are more pattern planes out there over 11lbs then most would
admit.  So if you don't go to the Nats what should it matter? 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.

By necessity the planes will have to get bigger or they will fly like Eric
says(jello on a plate). I liked that one.

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
