font-family:Arial'>Having flown both glow and now electric. I agree with Ron to
a point. The batteries ARE the fuel in an electric plane and so weighing them
with the batteries (not counting the Rx battery) is almost comparable to
weighing a glow motor plane with fuel. I said almost because the weight of an
electric motor and speed controller is considerably less than the weight of a
glow motor, muffler, and servo. I consider myself a reasonably light builder,
but have had to be extraordinarily careful to keep my electric planes within
the weight limits, to the point of not having features I'd prefer to have for
safety such as an on/off switch and arming plug. I know of one electric flier
that folded up his fuse in a snap because the construction was inadequate, also
not safe. Can they be built light enough? Yep, I've done it twice, but there
are compromises and not all are good. I also agree with Dave Lockhart's
assessment that weighing electric planes without the batteries will have
unintended consequences and new planes will be developed for/by the
exceptionally skilled. Somewhere in all of this, there's probably a reasonable
solution, but none are on the table and most seem to think that if an increase
is allowed now, it can never be taken back as technology develops. Perhaps, but
I don't see the logic if the adjustment is written properly. In truth, I'm on
the fence on this issue, but I'd sure like a little cushion to beef things up a
little and add that arming plug. BTW, I've found no performance advantage in
electric, just reliability and less mess. Fact is, I was winning a lot more
with glow.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

extremely talented in building a light airplane for battery power (or can
afford to pay a talented builder) and have the money to spend to buy the
lightest equipment (motor/batteries/ESC). I don't think I'm denigrating
the pilot on a limited budget when I say that. The result is, those who
have the money can compete with electric-powered airplanes, but most of the
others can't. The factor causing most of the money discrepancy is the
unfair application of the weight limit by requiring electric-powered airplanes
to be weighed with the batteries, but allowing glow-powered airplanes to be
weighed with an empty fuel tank. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

120 4C became dominant rapidly. Clearly the gap (if there is one) between
electric and glow today is nothing like the 2C / 4C gap was in ~1988 (when 2C

airplane is under 5 Kg, but not by much. Due to an extensive weight-saving
building job on his Black Magic by Mike Hester and John's careful selection and
installation of radio, batteries, ESC, prop, motor, spinner, et al, his
airplane is OK with weight, even in the kind of winds we often see at the Nats.
He's thinking about the guys who can't afford as much $$$ as he has invested in
his setup. The average guy probably can't build an electric-powered 2 meter
airplane that makes weight and is competitive with the kind of budget required
for a glow-powered version of the same airplane. <O:P></O:P><o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
