<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>What drove cost up was the change to turn around pattern. The
primary reason for turnaround style as I remember from the time was to reduce
the noise footprint. This change started the development of new planes designed
for the new style which demanded more power to fly well. It’s the 2 meter
limit and the noise limit that keeps cost down or we would be flying 40% gas
powered planes that weigh 45 lbs and cost 4 times what our 2M ships cost. The
5kg limit only drives cost up. Lighter stuff cost more than heavy stuff in
every component of the planes we fly.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>The 2M limit also limits the practical weight of the planes in
order to be competitive. An 11 lb. Plane is going to fly better than a 14 lb
plane. So why would you care if someone brings a 14 lb plane to a contest? If
you really want to level the playing field then a minimum weight would be
a better way.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>NSRCA really needs to be looking at ways to be more inclusive
and attract new contestants. Keeping the rules as they are will insure that
pattern keeps getting more expensive and a shrinking event. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";
color:navy'>In short, there has always been a limiting factor (whether size,
weight, power, noise). That limit has always been pushed by the top level
competitors, and the top level stuff is always the most expensive, and it
offers a competitive advantage over cheaper setups. And the masses
(certainly 90+% anyway) follow the guys at the top.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";
color:navy'>In short, everytime a limiting factor has been increased (for
whatever reasons), the size, cost, expense, etc has increased. Cheaper
options are available now, and they are not as competitive. Change the
rules, and cheaper options will still be available and still not be as
competitive as the new standard that will be achieved by the top level
competitors that push the new limits. In the last 20 or so years,
I’ve seen this cycle about 4 times. There is no magical rule or
formula that will change this for open competition…the cycle will repeat
every time a limit is raised.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

I should have checked my building noes first - it was actually 10 lbs 4
oz. But I'm not a professional builder either. Point is, it can be
done within the existing rules. You just have to get past the idea that
it can't be done.<br>
