I have so far owened 7 2x2 pattern ships, byplanes,monoplanes, YS and electric, all of them are under 5kg, I still have 5 of them, I do understand some one cannot understand why I am saying, but it is very clear to me and I am sure most FAI guys are.


If you do make weight is because of poor airframes wich are very Heavy, not using the lightest batteries, not using the lightest prop, etc, the list can go on, I do not claim to be the owner of the truth, but why do you think someone have to explain why heavier planes ar better, who stated that anyway?

That! Is the problem.

Again, the weight limit is to get a parameter along with size 2x2 as "not exceed" , it does not have to be explained or proven, it is what it is, I just shared what I know after talking the CIAM president in person for a while, as well as the top pilots and designers, and if someone does not agrees, then fine, this what forums are all about, open discussions, but that does not change the known fact.

Again FAI is a professional category, and as such is very demanding in equipment as it is on the pilot, it is not easy and has never been, it is not cheap and has never been, and that is something that will never change.

Please not my original comment was not targeted to a person but a comunity.
