I have to agree with Mastertech. The rules do not disqualify the pilot. Just the model that was overweight. And since we do not know when that model was overweight until it is weighed, no scores can be DQ'd. The pilot just cannot use that model. But he is not DQ'd and can continue the contest with a model that meets the spec's.

I'm really glad I saw these comments because I had never looked at it in that way.

I just wish more would understand the real difference between raisinf or eliminating the weight rule in F3A vs AMA.
