Pretty central Andrew;-) The problem with introducing them as a way in is that weve seen the same thing happen over the years. Weve seen how radiply feathers have evolved with the benefit of experience from bulding heavies. I see no reason why 6kgers wont almost immediatelly jump to the same standard- no easier for a newbie to build. Feathers are substantial but not unwieldy, not that cheap, but considerably cheaper than heavies, and theres a massive and rapidly growing support base for them. They really are the weight class for newbies (excluding those such as yourself who are familiar with all the technology and so on anyway). I really think pushing 6kgers as the new entry level weight class will have a detrimental effect.
