  • It is a very good question! It seems it's been asked before and there'a a good answer. Welcome to stackexchange, take the tour and ask something new - check to see if it's been asked before though! – uhoh Jul 09 '17 at 16:15
  • So long as they don't use their engine what does weight matter? – Loren Pechtel Jul 10 '17 at 02:20
