Weight Issues

[Richard Strickland]

Gentlemen,

It seems that the issue started (and someone please correct me if I'm wrong) regarding weighing electrics with or without their 'fuel'.  The discussion progressed to what constituted the 'fuel' and I guess it ended up with the electrons only as being 'it'.  Consequently--and it seemed a bit arbitrary--someone 'ruled' that the batteries for our purposes were part of the airframe.
I know very little about electricity--but I DO know it takes the chemical mixture IN them to 'fuel' the 'engine'.  It would seem logical to weigh electrics without their chemical mixture 'fuel' the same way we weigh others without their chemical mixture 'fuel'. No big Rules Change--just a logical DECISION on a QUESTION.
