Insofar as I am concerned, I don't believe that we should even consider
such a move as outlined below, until we find out exactly what the FAI
people are proposing. Inasmuch as I have had lengthy back-and-forth
with several qualified people on how only allowing a weight increase
would obsolete all pattern airplanes now existing, and open a Pandora's
box that would be extremely detrimental to the sport, (and these
folks are well intentioned) I could not support a knee jerk reaction
that says "whatever they do, we'll follow." It is
counter-productive, in my opinion, to blindly follow, and subject the
entire sport, to rules that may ultimately affect, and be reflected in,
a segment of the pattern community that may not be representative of
the whole body. If, on the other hand, it appears that such rules
changes, legally affecting only FAI, would be beneficial to our sport
as a whole, then I'd say "approved!"<br>

<div>Rumor has it that FAI is considering a weight increase as well
as weighing electrics without batteries.</div>

<div>No opinion from me except to consider a rule to allow us to
immediately adopt rather than have to wait a rule cycle... </div>
<div>Any comments on how we stay in sync with FAI or if we should? </div>
