[NSRCA-discussion] Weight limit in AMA classes

[krishlan fitzsimmons]

Daniel, 

There is a lot of good discussion (and some silly responses) a month or two ago on this. Perhaps you are new to the list. Maybe you could look up the back issues. There is pretty much nothing said here that isn't covered in the thread on RCU though. If you feel the need to voice your opinion RCU is probably the better venue for it IMO. Good luck!


Chris

You need to use pecans not steroids. Squirrels will do anything for pecans and the only additional weight penalty is one pecan on a stick. Of course you do need to reward the squirrel with extras after the flight which does not count against your weight limit. Also a switch to flying squirrels would be a plus. Then you actually get some lift from from your propulsion unit.
