[NSRCA-discussion] AMA weight limit

[rcmaster199 at aol.com]

The FAI regulation is 5.0 kilos. At the urging of Dean Pappas, the 
regulation was modified to include +1% to account for typical weighing 
scale precision issues. It's a reasonable assessment of typical scale 
precision.

The AMA, to the best of my knowledge, has not followed this thought 
process, possibly because an adequate proposal was not made. The AMA 
regulation is 5.0 kilos, including the lack of scale precision.

I had this come up the other day and it was my understanding that the 
1%
deviation on weight was an FAI rule change and that did not
automatically make it  apply to AMA classes as well.  Is this not
right?  FAI can go to 5050g  but AMA is still 11lbs (5kg).  And if we
want to get technical, 11lbs does not equal 5kg so which would it be?  
I
think the regs state 11lbs max weight in AMA classes.
