I'm not advocating weighing every airplane every round or even every airplane in a class once. I'm not asking for any more logistics or personnel to be required to run any contest. The infrastructure is already in place. I just think to DQ an contestant is a bit excessive.

Of course a contestant should ensure he's well under weight before leaving home in the first place.

I thank all those that have served on the associated boards in our sport over the years. I know it's a thankless job and at times can be trying, but who else are we to talk to about what matters to us in our sport? It comes with the job.

Forums like this, while they can get a bit out of hand at times, is the best place to raise questions and hash them out well before anyone puts a rule proposal in. With point-counter point we can bring to the fore front ideas on both sides of an issue that might not have been thought of that could sway opinions. This way we involve far more in the process than we ever have before.
