Weight limit discussion

[Ed Deaver]

Althought the thought and nature of Buddy's suggestion are with good intentions, I don't think this would ever be effective.  The only reason is, who you make it for.  If the weight, or more appropriately overweight rule is applicable to flier 1, it is applicable to everyone, hence allowing any who wish to use it to the letter of the rule.  Just being realistic here.  
 
Whether this allowed more wing area, more side area more any area, there are those competitors that would use it to an exploitive point.
 
I like Bob P's past post.  Leave the weight issue alone untill F3A is in fact changed and not just a recommendation.

Hey Buddy,

 

I think this has potential.  We need to sort through the specifics…but I think it could be framed in a way to accomplish the intended goal without the unintended consequences that the previously beaten to death discussion on weight change would bring.

As I said in my previous post I fully understand the reasoning from both sides of this issue and requested pro and con opinions on a possible solution which will satisfy the area that I think is driving this discussion. That is the absolute necessity to spend large amounts of money to reduce the weight of a model to bring it into compliance with the weight limit.


Especially for those who cannot afford it and would like to participate in the Nat's 


I have received suggestions that this issue could be resolved by adopting a penalty system similar to that now in place for the Noise Limit rule and another suggestion that would provide for a 2/12% over weight allowance. If you have an opinion I would like to hear it.
