Weight Issues

[MKMSG at aol.com]

Another option is to simply leave the weight as stated in today's  rules.  I 
switched to electric several years ago after over 50 years of  using glow 
engines and while I have to work a bit to ensure a 2 meter model  comes in at or 
under 5 kg, I guarantee that both my electric Partner and my  electric Symphony 
will be legal when ready to fly.  Manufacturers of ARFs,  ARCs and full kits 
who can't produce competitive airframes which can be  built IAW the rules 
won't sell their products to the pattern community....simple  as that.  Perhaps 
rather than chasing issues of weight, size and/or power,  we should wait and see 
what the FAI will propose and then decide how to adjust  the AMA rule book.  
Just my $.02.
