that the proposals put forward will really work.<br>If the plane is inspected at check-in then there is too much opportunity to<br>change things. In particular, batteries, which are a normally removable<br>item, can be changed to decrease on increase the weight. Do we "sticker" the<br>battery pack? This means the plane must be disassembled for inspection and<br>that only that battery pack can be used. At present fuel tanks can also be<br>under/over filled to adjust ballast for windy conditions.<br><br> <br><br> If this is a serious problem, perhaps there are other solutions. <br><br> <br><br> Planes could be placed in an impound/inspection area immediately<br>before a flight and fully fueled. The inspection could happen here and<br>shouldn't delay the flow of the contest.<br><br> <br><br> Another possibility is to
adopt a "standard" weight for a battery<br>pack, then weigh electric planes empty.
