Min weight on EZB makes more sense to me due to the rule restrictions of
all balsa props, solid motor sticks, plastic film, solid tailboom, no
boron, no bracing unless of wood etc as it puts a huge emphasis on
finding sub 4# wood for the model and a higher weight will allow more
available wood to be used. 35cm is much different as the only
restriction is wingspan so these complications go away as you can brace
the wing or add boron to a body, use microfilm and make built up props.
So I guess my question is what purpose do you feel the min weight will
serve for 35cm?
