More weighty stuff

 

From: Gavin Manion

I fully agree with John Carter’s view on increasing model weights by adding inert mass. My main interest class, F1G, would be very different with full carbon 90g airframes in the event our rulemakers returned to the “100 gram coupe” of the 1970s.

A few years ago Stu Darmon ran an experimental event intended as a small field trial. The rule was a legal P30 plus a 10g wheel balance weight. It certainly took the edge off the model performance and might have increased their DT rate. It proved highly unpopular with competitors, a typical comment being ” these are no good, you need lift to max”. Maybe that was just the point…
