In that case the punishment is not for having a "legal" wingspan, but for having an overweight plane. At least that's how I understood it.<span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span></p>

<span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;"> After all of the perpetual comments on the list about the weight limit and other technical rules why not change these to a score penalty instead of disqualification? This way if comes to an event with an overweight
or oversize or loud airplane they get a 2% score penalty and aren't told to go home.</span></p>

to reduce that anxiety I am thinking about proposing a bonus to raw scores for Sportsman and Intermediate based on wing span. Planes with a span under 55" would receive a 4% bonus and under span 65" would receive a 2% bonus. It should be possible to input
this during registration to automate the process. </span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";"></span></p>
