[NSRCA-discussion] Electric/IC ...was Arming Plug/Receptacle Problem

[krishlan fitzsimmons]

Mark, 

lol. I agree. I used to think different, but now I see that on windy days, the weight rules favor glow, but on calm days, they favor E.. 
The weight rule is silly in the first place. No one will want to be too heavy regardless of what the rules are. It should just go away, or go up to whatever glow can take off at. 

New technology brings new rules. Just the way life is.

Can someone explain to me why we care if the rules favor something? 
They're the rules.  If I wanted to fly Turbine because I think it's the
best option, should they change the rules to accommodate my choice??  I thought
we MAKE our choice based on how it fits the rules...not the other way around.  
We have always designed our planes to fit the rules, not altered the rules to
fit our planes.  Why does this change suddenly because a new power plant is
getting close to being viable (it's already there)??   Makes no sense.

If new batteries came out that weighed 1/3 as much with twice the capacity,
suddenly the rules would grossly "favor" electric...and you know what?
 We would all change, because we pick our equipment to be competitive.

Changing the rules ruins almost every game, every sport.  If eliminates the
ability to plan.  It limits product selection because manufacturers are even
LESS sure of the market.  Old products are obsoleted that much quicker...etc.

Ok...I'm done.   Can I fly Turbine pattern now??

The rules already favor IC--but we've been down that road...
