There is, nor was there ever, an AMA no-cal or profile rubber scale event.
As for the 6.2 grams, this is observed only in indoor no-cal competitions,
with the USIC being the prime example. We used it at our Buffalo Bills
fieldhouse contests as well. I believe this minimum weight rule was
established at the USIC many years ago in an effort to "level the playing
field" a bit and not allow the event to become into a quasi-penny plane
competition. It established a light enough weight standard that most
modelers could meet while at the same time preserving a good degree of
endurance capability. It seems to have achieved these goals.
I have never heard of a weight rule being applied to outdoor no-cals.
Now if we could only eliminate those Hosler Furies. ;-)
