55 Pounds
I am relatively new to giant scale, started about three years back and it has really changed my interest toward the R/C hobby. I have been in this hobby for about 30 years on and off. After you fly small scale planes for so long it is natural to move up in size. I now like 1/4, 33%,37% and 1/2 scale planes, but I still love small scale too. I have been steadfast with the AMA over the years and I would like to see them advance with me in the giant scale area. 55 pounds? Where and when did the AMA arrive at this weight limit? Does anybody know? Forty years ago the 55 pound limit may have been justified, but with the knowledge and building materials we have today it is a hindrance to the giant scale modelers. What do you think??? James Goss
