Agreed. But obsolete rules (or rules that flat out don't make sense) can be changed. Nothing is cast in stone. Just look at scored takeoffs and landings!

Things aren't equal with the current rules today...that's my point. Simply put, I have a problem with the fact that one plane can takeoff at 12 (or more) lbs and another cannot in the same event when weight limits are supposed to be an "equalizer".

Maybe there is no "better" solution to the weight issue than what we currently have, but that shouldn't stop up from discussing other options. That's all this is after all...a discussion.
