Hi Jack,

It is a common misconception that the 2x2 rule limits size. Place a Summit from the 90’s next to an Axiome of today and you get the point. Your 20lb 2x2 biplane may do just fine!

The weight rules are debated every rule cycle (every 2 years); I promise you no one is dragging their feet. The governing body is you (as an AMA member.) Sorry, no secretive group Ryan (I know you were joking!) The last cycle (for 2011/2012), an update was passed to allow for an increase in all AMA classes except Masters.

To the community…does anyone know if any Intermediate or Advance fliers at the Nat’s took advantage of (or needed) the increase? Can anyone comment as to this rule change directly affecting them?
