Unless you fly at the Nats, weight won't keep you out of a contest.

By the time you feel ready to fly at the Nats, you willl probably have progressed to the point that you appreciate and demand a light airframe, so it won't be a factor.

BTW, what was young Joseph Szczur flying this year when he won in Advanced at the Nats? Wasn't it a Wind S 110 (or something similar) he has flown the past couple of seasons? No weight or cost problems there, eh??

Any AMA member can fly at the Nats! You don't have to be "good" or "progressed" to be ready to fly there - just have the money, time, and desire to go!
I can't understand the attitude that we need a weight limit but only at the Nats!
