Come to think of it, there have been many topics rehased over the last year(s) - all with good arguments all around. <br><br>

<div>No offense has been taken. I also saw the humor in the weight restrictions, which is why I mentioned gas engines. <br><br></div>

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

> Subject: Re: [NSRCA-discussion] Weight limit in AMA classes<br>><br>><br>> John,<br>><br>><br>> I just happened to read the discussion on RCU about the SAP 140 and it<br>occurred to me that maybe this is why raising the weight limit should be<br>
considered. This does not mean I agree, but just for thought.<br>><br>> , electrics want a weight break because their fuel tanks are<br>heavy but their fuel is light; because two strokes aren't competitive any<br>
more we ought to have a high minimum weight for 4-strokes and electrics to<br>level the playing field; and I want a weight break because I added 4 oz when<br>I put ignition on my YS's.<br>><br>> Pandora's box is no problem compared to changing pattern rules.<br>
