The CD is bound as part of his job to abide by and conduct the contest in accordance with AMA rules, UNLESS he advertises the contest otherwise. Just because nobody has been checking doesn't mean that they won't or can't. If a contestant protests, the CD has no choice but to check. I don't see anywhere in the rules that "weight (or 2m or sound or whatever) won't be checked anywhere but the Nats". We go to contests and, by entering, agree to abide by the rules. I've had most of a flight zeroed because I lost a spinner in flight at a local contest. People lose landing points all the time because a wheel comes off on landing. I guess we shouldn't enforce that either. I'm not sure why we are singling out weight to not enforce. BTW, I agree that lower classes could get a break of a few ounces in the rules, but it ain't there yet.</span>

<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Actually, the newer planes such as the Visa appear to be getting a little smaller over all. And large volume fuselages can make for a stiff, strong, and light structure. I see a lot of guys with trainers and other airplanes rip out gear all the time. They can make things as heavy as they want. If you land hard enough, you will rip out the gear out of anything. Pattern airplanes are no different.<br>

Not really acceptable, in the FAI finals its a new contest, the top 4 going
into the finals, could be the bottom 4 after the finals. You need to
process everyone that is in the finals to ensure they are all legal, as there
is no way to predict the results.<br>
<br>
It would be sad if you processed the top 4 from the semi's, and during the
finals a 5th person made the team who was not processed, and was found to be
flying an illegal model.<br>
