Weight Limits</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>I have a built-in problem with someone being able to "buy" a
win. It comes from when I entered the Soapbox Derby as a 14 year
old. In my first race, I was beaten buy a kid who eventually won the
whole race. My dad could afford to buy me an official set of
wheels, but no more. The father of the kid who beat me bought ten sets
of wheels and they were able to select the four best wheels. If a rule
enables only the "rich" to compete successfully with an e-powered airplane, it
gets my hackles up.
