Weight Issues

[John Pavlick]

John,
 That would make too much sense (11 lbs with fuel for all). It would also
put an end to a lot of nonsense (should the batteries be charged?) I
suggested this a while ago (in so many words) but nobody thought it was a
good idea. I think a lot of problems with our rules come from the way things
are worded - it allows for some pretty interesting interpretations. Maybe
the next batch of rule changes will be a little more explicit so we can all
concentrate on flying instead.
