<div>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.</div>

Im not sure I agree with a penalty, because why do you have to punish a person who has a 2 meter plane.<br>

<p>I support these ideas. It could be the specific numbers would need adjustment as we get experience with them..<br>
</p>
<p>Our noise rule specifies a percent handicap and works well.<br>

<div> 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.</div>

<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="text-indent: 0.5in; font-size: 14pt;">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="line-height: 21.46px; font-size: 14pt;">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>
