When a model classification has a minimum weight limitation can devices that are attached to the rubber motor but do not provide any actual power such as "O" rings that are used to connect the motor to the prop hook or rear hook be included in the models total weight? This question would also apply to devices such as "tubes" or short pieces of plastic straws that are slid over the motor to prevent the motor from bunching up at the front or rear hook. I know this has been discussed before but I don't recall the consensus.
If they can be counted in the total weight, can identical "O" rings be used for weight purposes or do they need to be cut off the motor & weighed?
