<DIV>To all who have responded to my first post on this subject.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>First of all I wish to apologize for starting this thread again
prematurely. My message was posted to the list in error, it was to be an
internal message to Don Ramsey.</DIV>
<DIV>This message which was a followup to a previous post to Don Ramsey,
due to it's content was interpreted by most who read it at face value.</DIV>
<DIV>Dave L was the first to respond to me personally in a critical manner
because of it's apparent content.</DIV>
<DIV>Following is my answer to Dave's post to me which may serve to more clearly
explain my position and the necessity to set a new and productive course
regarding this subject.</DIV>
<DIV>If anyone wishes to comment, answer the questions I posed to Dave in my
post to him or add your personal opinions please contact me personally at <A

<DIV>Dave</DIV>
<DIV>I think you are reading me wrong. I first of all sent this message to the
list in error. </DIV>
<DIV>I was simply suggesting that the subject be addressed once again
as many pattern participants that have contacted me concerning the
next rules change cycle do not understand the need for a rule so restrictive
that for the most part in their view serves no purpose except to increase the
cost and difficulty to build a pattern legal airplane. My comments
concerning FAI were not intended to exclude anyone but only to obtain
information from those who will be directly effected by any such request
for change. </DIV>
<DIV>As a member of the rules change committee I feel obligated to address all
items directed my way. And in order for me to fully understand the wants
and needs of all members I will make an effort to obtain as much
information as possible to put each item in prospective.</DIV>
<DIV>I know you have a vast knowledge of the history of this rule and would hope
that you are willing to share it with me.</DIV>
<DIV>Basic questions that I have are:</DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>What is the purpose of the rule?</STRONG> (Considering that the two
meter size rule is maintained as the controlling design criteria for
pattern.)</DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>How would a change to twelve pounds affect pattern, and
why?</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>What are the benefits gained by maintaining the eleven pound
limit?</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV>Sincerely awaiting your comments. Please forward off line to <A
