long as you don't inhale... Hey - that got pres. Clinton off
the hook. Along those lines of thinking - why do maneuvers that
judges don't see get scored as "N.O." or 0. I thought every maneuver
started as a 10, and got downgraded due to "observed" imperfections. If you
didn't see it - how can you downgrade it to a 0? </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

more pattern planes out there over 11lbs then most would admit. So if
you don't go to the Nats what should it matter? I haven't seen the weight/2
meter rule enforced yet at a contest other then the NATS. I'll be
one to fess up that I (had) an 11+lb guppy. I am working
diligently to get it under 11lbs ONLY because there is some faint POSSIBILITY
that I MIGHT get to go to the NATS this year. AND it flies better
lighter.</SPAN></FONT></P></DIV>
