I support rule changes and I support Tony 100%

Tony, I meet you but you don't know me. I am a intermediate pilot, been to 2 nats, finished in 5th place wood last year and won the concourse award for my scratch built prototype Black Magic VF3 - (everyone's seen it)

Being a scratch builder I would like to see the rules change and often. specially if it makes older designs obsolete.

also being a professional designer, builder and painter, I can see a BIG new demand for new designs and airplanes - built quickly to new design specs, instead of waiting for the boat from taiwan or china. which could be a year or more once the weight limit changed.

BUT Since this is an AMA rule the overseas importers won't build airframes to AMA spec. there would be a lack of optimized designs for the new weight limit.

Also I don't see this issue as electrics vs. ic - - I see this as a rule change to allow larger displacement in the 2m box. To me this rule doesn't support growth or any of the "feel good" reasons people like to hear.

you see being able to scratch build a 2m competitive wood airframe is my primary competitive advantage. As I am an intermediate pilot and do not plan on moving up until 2011 or 2012 - ??


SO BRING ON THE WEIGHT CHANGE - I've got a big stack of 9 gram wood just waiting !!!!!

I support Tony 100%, weight change YES !!!!!!!!

happy new years all !
