<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>John F. makes some good points in his
justification, however, I simply think that Dave's counter points out
"weigh" John's points.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I think if you read Dave's post with an open mind
and not a pre-conceived "position" you feel you have to protect you'll find his
logic very compelling. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>BTW, I find this change of heart by you and John quite amusing. This is
probably unfair but it almost sounds as if one of you can't get your new e-plane
to make weight with the current rules. I'm sure that's not true, but from the
outside it certainly appears that way.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I hope the real reason for "floating" this idea was
to get people opinions. If so I'm beginning to see a trend.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>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.
