[Jeff Hatton]

There is a simple solution. glow weighs in with an empty fuel tank. so
should electric, so weigh in with a dead battery :-)

I was also not aware that glow-powered airplanes needed the handicap they
already have. I agree that, with innovative design and $$$, electric-powered
airplanes can compete with glow-powered airplanes. The ones who suffer from
the weight inequity are those who can't afford the $$$ to overcome the
weight inequity.

to be doing just fine against the recips under current rules. 

If you really think they need a little help by all means give them a rule
book boost!

I just got this response from John Fuqua.

The guys are missing the point. It is not about what can be achieved on
weight. It is what is permitted by the rules. They are not arguing the logic
of what the rules allow (in most cases) but examples of what has been
achieved. Please make that point.
