I'm a CD of a GS event and we get planes over the 55lbs. There has never been a problem. If it wasn't for the cost of a new trailer I'd probility have one. This hobby is based in trust. I trust that i can leave my radio on the table and find it there hours later. If a pilot tells me 54lbs, he's only cheating himself if he's over. He signs the paper work that states the plane is legal. If there is a problem it's all on him not me or the club. If you weigh the plane and it's over and you fudge on the weight your the only looser. Dennis
