<p>Weighing adds to the time and effort to run the contest. It's not easy to accurately weigh an airplane when it's breezy outside, so you need some kind of a windbreak to do it well. One might also ask why there's almost never a noise check. It's more
equipment to carry around, as would be the case with weight checks. I give the priority to bringing donuts & coffee to get he contest started off right.</p>

<div style="margin: 0px;">Very Good Point. I've always wondered that myself. I bet if someone with a 13 pound Extra 260 that's a hair over 2meters comes to a normal district meet and wants to fly advanced, the CD would have no problem. We don't want to push
anyone away..... </div>

I have a question about the weight rule. Why isn't it enforced? We have a 2 meter rule that is, and it makes perfect sense. Any CD knows that an IMAC plane is not legal in all but the Sportsman class and that rule is enforced at all contests, for good reason.<br>
<br>
If the current weight rule is our safe space that protects the sport then we should adhere to the rule across the board. Right? Advocates say, obey the rules, its the right thing to do, it keeps costs down and is an equalizer.<br>
<br>
My reasoning is, if advocates of the rule feel so strongly about its a protective quality's, then why are they not screaming for it's enforcement? Why would you not enforce something that is vital to our sports health? I am really curious about this. Is there
a consensus that the Nats helps save the sport because the weight rule is enforced there? We should add a disclaimer to the current rule "we don't really meant it, but if you want to compete at our Nation event, your plane must weigh this amount ".<br>
<br>
I am all for protecting and growing our sport. If their is an historical precedent that informs us of the potential demise of pattern by eliminating or modifying the current weight rule, then by all means, I am for it. All I am hearing from advocates is conjecture.
<br>
<br>
Perhaps at least modify the rule to exclude local contests, that's what happens now, right? Then, at least some of us can fly with a clear conscious knowing we are doing the right thing.<br>
<br>
Imagine helping someone entering the sport and you are explaining some of the rules. By the way, we have a weight rule. Your airplane must be within these weight specs in your class or you will be disqualified from an event or any event going forward. That
would surely drain the swamp. I agree with most rules and know why we need them. I am a firm believer that weight rule as it is currently written does more harm than good for our sport.

<p class="MsoNormal">We can solve this whole weight issue by designating one 2 meter airplane to compete with, like NASCAR does it with race cars. It can be of any size, but must be the same airplane for electric, and the same airplane for glow. Then weight
doesn’t matter. In my opinion, the lighter airplane might have the advantage, because of the power to weight ratio.</p>

I was just wondering what I could possibly do to remove some weight from an airplane (a good one) that hits the boundaries of our weight rules out-of-the-box? The arguments have been folks are using heavy motors, heavy wheels, heavy surface controls....etc.

designers that utilize manufacturers in other countries don't have an unlimited budget to have different variants of the same model when, in reality, a small number (from a manufacturing standpoint) will be sold as a whole. All this to say that we are an
oddity. The rest of the world flies introductory classes as well but with the sole intent to finally be able to fly FAI. You actually have to earn that right in many places. This is why the 110-size class has come started to become popular in other parts

<br>
Fuse - 3115grams (weighed with Powerbox duel receiver reg, standard landing gear, Futaba BLS451 for Rudder, stab halves with Futaba 9650's and Castle ESC 80 light, along with Falcon carbon prop light and a Falcon carbon spinner)<br>
Leftwing Panel - 359grams (wing weighed with Futaba S9551)<br>
RightWing Panel - 361grams (wing weighed with Futaba S9551)<br>
RX Batts - 2 TP 480mah - 60grams<br>
WingTube - 51grams<br>
Arming Plug 17grams<br>
Total Weight = 3963<br>
<br>
Compact 2 5000mah 1125grams<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
<br>
Total Flying Weight=5088grams<br>
<br>
I could remove the Regulator and save 46grams<br>
<br>
Total Flying Weight=5042grams<br>
<br>
I could remove Arming plug<br>
<br>
Total Flying Weight=5025grams<br>
<br>
All of the equipment installed could be considered the higher end of the market...<br>
<br>
500 flights and 2 landing gear repairs later - Well I have not bothered weighing it.<br>
<br>
The plane does fly very well though...<br>
<br>
Any thoughts?<br>

the cost has increased for everyone. The reason so many planes are close to the limits is because they have been designed for the greatest performance available within the limits, by pushing right up to the limits.</span></p>

are ALL the modern day large 2M planes when equipped with the heaviest motor, heaviest motor batteries, heaviest RX/servo power supply (dual redundant everything with 10 amp magnetic switches), heaviest servos, heaviest linkages, heaviest wheels, plethora
of telemetry sensors, etc. Any airplane can be made overweight. If someone has the opinion it is ok to be less competitive for being overweight, being less competitive with a smaller plane that does make weight is pretty much the same scenario (but is legal
to the letter of the rules).</span></p>
