<p style="font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:16px"> 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.</p>
<p style="font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:16px">The other big complaint is the perceived intimidation factor of flying smaller airplanes. <span style="font-size: 14pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">In an effort 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></p>

<span style="font-size:14pt; line-height:21.4667px">The numbers I have picked are somewhat arbitrary but the idea is people can show up with a variety of aircraft and either be rewarded for trying in the entry classes or compete without the expense and effort
of complying to the comply to the current standards.</span></p>
