Then what about those who have the light .22gr/100 CP and those who
cannot get it? The condenser Goldstein sells is 600mg/100sq so the same
argument can be said for light cpaper verse regular c-paper. Condenser
also adds strength that plastic does not have. When EZB first went to
plastic most people had trouble with weak EZB wings as plastic did not
provide the strength condenser had.

Then I am in the minority. But to me it really does not matter on
contest caliber models. The good indoor guys will still win if paper or
plastic covered, that is the real point. So again it comes down to what
is the point of making the class an AMA event? To preserve the original
A-6 concept? To preserve status quo? To attract beginners?
