<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I wont disagree with you on CERTAIN conditions
issues. That's why the CD has the option to not judge the
takeoff/landing(0 or 10). I has been done on more then one occasion in D6
as the wind can get a little testy in the spring time. Leave the rule in
and let the CD decide at the time of the contest. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV>I don't think takeoffs and landings should be judged. At some contests
and field conditions, it is simply dangerous to force everyone to land in
front of the judges. This is especially true if the wind conditions change
during a flight and the pilot is expected to land downwind cause that is the
direction he took off. I have seen it happen. Takeoffs and landings are not
aerobatic maneuvers by anyone's definition.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>As for weight, if the 2m size becomes the only restriction, then you
might see some IMAC legal biplanes entered, weighing 25+ lbs. A 2m
Ultimate bipe would be huge. Would that be a problem? Depends on who is flying
it, I suppose. Would that be an advantage? If someone wins with one, then it
will be a perceived advantage. Everyone will have to have one.</DIV>
