Bryan,

I have presented a lot of "proof" to my proposal. You have either chosen to ignore it or minimalize it in your mind. And I know a lot of Shinden owners who really would have liked a higher weight limit. Every one I have seen at the local meets the owner told me it was over the weight limit.

Do I think my proposal would make life easier for myself? Yes I do. But if I had a problem making weight in 2009 with a plane that was legal in the F3A Finals in 2008 then I figure it's a problem for others.

I know of two pilots who would have gone to the Nats in 2009 but their CARF model was over weight. And I know of one pilot here in CA who is trying very hard to get his brand new Valiant to get below the weight so he can go to the Nats next year. So far he has been unable. I'm sure they would be happy to know that it is "easy" to make weight.
