Oh Chad.........

How will prices go up if we were to increase the weight limit? I mean, gas guys could fly pattern. Pretty cheap.. People with Hanger 9 extras, and caps, and edge's could fly pattern. In a lot of ways I believe it could help bring some costs down to a repectable level that would allow the average person that otherwise can't afford a $3500 pattern arf the ability to come fly with us. Therefore instilling the pattern bug into them. I've seen us here in D7 lose the Vegas and the Gardnerville contest. Plus, the Lancaster contest had 11 pilots, and the Yuma contest had 14.. Is this where we are headed? But hey, only a few people in your class is a guaranteed trophy.. Wooo hooooo.. BUT, who'd you beat really? Just my opinion as I hope this isn't what we are headed into.. Is pattern dying? That kind of thing..
I can see how certain things could go up, but that'd be for guys at your level.. [sm=bananahead.gif] Not the average schmo like me.. lol

BTW, when weighing at the worlds after the flight, do the glow guys have to be under 11lbs then? Or do they have to drain their fuel to weigh? I'm asking cuz I don't know the answer, not cuz I'm being a smarty pants .. I haven't progressed enough with my setup yet to get to the worlds.. lol

Back to work..
