Now you have to define what a Bipe is. . . Is a T-Canalizer a second wing? There are some radical designs out there with lifting surfaces all over the place. . . ugh.

Perhaps instead of measuring Weight, we should measure the Volume of an airplane. Should be easy enough with a 2M by 2M hot tub full of water . . . each contestant submerges their airplane and then measure how much was displaced. . .

I better add one of these really, really quickly. . . -> [img][/img]

So the spirit of the rule is to keep the planes from getting too big. Makes sense. Maybe a better rule would make bipes carry a smaller wing span.
You're right.... Just stick to 2x2 and forgetaboutit. Will people really flock to bipes with bigger engines/motors if the weight restriction is dropped?
