What rule being presented? I made a statement that I wanted to run it by the sub-committee members to see what their interest is in raising the limit. Please don't jump to any conclusions on what the wording on any rule will be before it is even crafted and proposed.<br>

<p><span style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d">I'm not sure that rule suggestion is well thought out. How do you enforce the rule? Now you have to have the competitor disassemble their plane to show it is full of fuel. How much air in the tank constitutes a full tank? And the weight of fuel changes with temperature. What temp are you going to keep the plane to check the weight?</span></p>

<p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 12pt"><br>Keep in mind that they are talking about helicopters here. Even in a full on F3C heli with the fuse on you can easily see the tank. Plus if it is a FAI contest they simply will make you top off just before putting it on the scales, no big deal.<br>
<br><br>And to the idea of a 50cc 2-meter Biplane, I've flown a DA50 powered 75 inch Double Vision biplane. Trust me, I would much rather have any pattern mono plane instead!! But if that is the fear, then cap the displacement at 26cc, which will more than handle any monoplane. Gas engines below 50cc have not proven to have the right power to weight ratio to justify their use in aerobatic planes.<br>
<br>Also, go to an IMAC contest. You will notice something right off the bat. No biplanes. Go figure.<br><br><br></p></div></div></div></div><br>_______________________________________________<br>NSRCA-discussion mailing list<br>
