I knew you knew he knew he wasn't being realistic.  More like sadistic.
 
I think I will get my P-30 free flight out.   50grams with rubber RTF
Now that's light and it has a 120 sq inches of wing  area.  Hang out with a 
free flight guy for a day or two and you will  understand what light IS.  You 
might even lose a few pounds chasing the  darn things.
 
Isn't that how this thread started?   Me  being over weight.

One must remember history to help here. Has  any past changes ever brought 
the cost of pattern down? I believe it  has always made it more expensive such 
as what happened with engine  displacement.
       I am  envisioning a new pattern plane for the new weight.
It will be a monoplane, 78" ws, 78" length,  fuse height 18", fuse width 10", 
wing root 25", wing tip15", 15degree  sweep at the quarter chord, 12% airfoil 
making the wing root 3" thick,  stab 28" and nearly 2" thick. 
       I hope  it doesnt look exagerated, but I would be afraid this would be 
the  trend. Obviously I dont know to what extent the poor flying quality of  
this kind of design would be, but who knows what could happen.  
Classic  case of opening one door into a room full of doors.

You know more about pattern design than that. The engine required  to pull 
that monster will surely weigh in at four pounds add gear, radio  exhaust system 
for another four pounds and covering or paint of a half  pound that means the 
airframe will have to be three and a half pounds.  you better start looking 
for weightless balsa. Be sure to install giant  control surfaces so you will be 
able to use it as a fun fly and all your  effort wont be wasted

Yes, and what does a free flight airplane have to do with it.
