I have a question as I'm in the posistion of being ignorant on the subject.

What is the purpose (intention) of the rule for applying a weight limit to begin with? I see the point of a size restriction. But why weight in addition to size?

It seems to me if you wanted to level the plane end of the equation why would there not be a MINIMUM weight limit instead of a maximum?

Again this post was in all seriousness as I do not fly pattern but have been following this discussion.
