>BTW - where and when did the 1.2g limit originate?

Bill san,
I believe it was in '99 or '00 and for a international postal contest hosted
by a famous club in USA.
Till the 1st (maybe 2nd) postal A6 contest, there was no limit. A famous US
modeler got very good time and won the postal. His model was unbelievably
light. I think it was built by #3 wood and weigh 0.8g or so. It was too
extreme. My models might be 1.0 to 1.2g at that time. I proposed the weight
limit.
I like A6 because it must be covered with paper.

Good flying, Aki, congrats on your F1M Cat4 record, Bill san.
