Over the years there has been a lot of discussion on how to increas participation in the Nats. I don't see how implimenting these changes are going to encourage participation. I have never understood what advantage an over weight pattern plane has with assuming all other spec's are met. In my opinon weighing every aircraft after every flight is a huge waste of man-power. I do understand this for FAI finals as these people will be competing for a world team spot. Just my thoughts.
