RE: Updated Weight Requirements?
I agree Scott that if any weight concession is made, and I personally don't think there is a need, the advancement classes are the place to make it. not the destination class.
However that will cause someone in Advanced to have to do something about their airframe if they have a plane that is alright in weight for their class but if they are moving to Masters it would be overweight. They need to either do some liposuction on the existing plane or go buy a new plane that would make weight. Although a nice new plane is always a cool thing to get.
I really like the home by the airport analogy.....very accurate.
