[NSRCA-discussion] Rules proposals

[W Anthony Abdullah]

In that case the punishment is not for having a "legal" wingspan, but for having an overweight plane. At least that's how I understood it.

This way if comes to an event with an overweight or oversize or loud airplane they get a 2% score penalty and aren't told to go home.

In an effort to reduce that anxiety I am thinking about proposing a bonus to raw scores for Sportsman and Intermediate based on wing span. Planes with a span under 55" would receive a 4% bonus and under span 65" would receive a 2% bonus. It should be possible to input this during registration to automate the process.
