This rule change could also help us return to a simpler less expensive road.  
Encourage more suppliers to go back to the traditional type construction.  If 
someone wants to be competitive on a world level then they can persue the 
more complex, higher dollar route.  I'm not gonna spend wads of cash on a mega 
dollar bipe just to win a $5 piece of wood.  I'm nowhere convinced they will fly 
better just because they'll be bigger.  The designs available now fly pretty 
good. 
I don't see that happening. Pattern as a descipline will always demand the 
best available, not just the best any competitor can afford. True that some 
competitors take the less expensive route, but many if not most will buy the most 
expensive because of the perceived value. Historically, increased weight 
always has increased the cost and as much as we bitched about it, we went ahead and 
payed through the nose anyway.
