[NSRCA-discussion] Weight

[Jon Lowe]

The LAST thing we want to do is to establish different airplane criteria than FAI.  The only pattern airplanes manufactured in the US are the Black Magic, Pentathlon, and Symphony.  Why would the far east or Europe make anything for us that couldn't be sold elsewhere?  The market is just too small.

True enough, but once again this is a purely arbitrary number and how 
many people fly both FAI and AMA pattern? Don't you usually fly one or 
the other?? In soaring the only planes that must meet the FAI weight 
limits are planes flown in FAI events. Seems sort of logical.
