Okay back to the weight rule. I was flying Pattern back when the first unlimited engine rule went into affect. At that time the TOC was flying larger airplanes with big engines. Dean Pappas has a TOC biplane with a OPS 60 CC Twin that weighted almost 20 lbs. With the short spinner it fit in the 2 meter box. The rules makers in pattern went to the 11 lb rule to keep those airplanes out. At the time they felt it would hurt the sport. As per now I agree the rule needs to be changed.
