My take on Mike’s point was that they should weigh models without the
batteries for the motor. I don’t think he was asking about
increasing the weight. I believe there are other FAI events where the
batteries are removed when the models are weighed, so this is not a new concept
to them.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

weight limit could be imposed. I fly IC and loaded with fuel it is 12 lbs

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;margin-bottom:12.0pt">
Perhaps another compromise would be to raise the weight limit to 11.5 or 12
lbs., then have a weight penalty that starts at 11lbs and increases
hyperbolically up to the max weight. <br>
<br>
It could start at 2% at 11lb 1oz., 5% at 11 lb., 2oz., 7% at 11lb. 3oz.,
on up to 40% score reduction at 12 lbs.<br>
<br>
This rule wouldn't affect anyone at local contests nor guys who aren't
in the hunt for hardware at the Nats. The top guys at the Nats wouldn't have to
worry about being DQ'd for weight HOWEVER if you want to stay in the top you
better have a light airplane. . . or be able to fly 40% better than everyone
else . . <o:p></o:p></p>

designs (very few in number), planes will still be designed to meet 11
lbs and therefore an increase in size/weight/expense is very unlikely to

<p> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;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.</span> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;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.</span>

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>
