Default RE: Updated Weight Requirements?

Joe,

You posted this earlier,

Well first off, thanks to everyone who responded to the thread. I was asked for my opinion in an email and felt that I needed some more information before I really said anything. Personally I have never flown a 2M, weighed an airplane or even held 8 or 10S worth of batteries in my hand. I have no idea how easy or hard it is for electric or glow guys to fit everything in a 2M plane and make weight (or glow guys for that matter).

I suggest that maybe when you do get some more experience with the event that you will better understand the problem. I bought my PassPort that I flew in Masters at this years Nats from Chip Hyde. He flew it in the 2008 F3A Finals. Would I not expect that model to make weight at the 2009 Nats? I did but I was hit with the problem a few days before the Nats started. I suspect that many others have the same problem. If they indeed weigh all the models entered at the 2010 Nats I suspect that many more having the problem will be seen. Or maybe they won't go to the Nats?
