I took care of it. Dave put the plane down outside the tent (aimed away from
everyone towards the runway), standing over the tail and did not move until I
arrived. I then had the official watch me as I pulled open the canopy and
unplugged the battery, then put the canopy back on. Then I spun the prop and
stuck my finger in there... he usually laughed and nodded. I think everyone
knows not to get around a prop when the battery is plugged in. At least I hope
so. </span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

Better be prepared to weigh 4 or 5 sets of batteries with each competitor as<br>
well as airplanes. <br>
<br>
That's the thing with glow. Only dry weight counts. You can load
as much<br>
fuel as you wish to any weight! Electric stuck at a fixed max T.O.
Weight.<br>

I don't see an issue with this... we will put a sticker on all items<br>
including all packs that a competitor will use. If a competitor really<br>
wants to cheat then they will do it... nothing we can do will stop that.<br>
I'm also hoping that random inspections will keep people honest and the fear<br>
that if you do fail then you will be disqualified.<br>

I have some concern 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. The "standard" could change
as<br>
technology changes.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
As John Pavlick will tell you, all major race winners
undergo a<br>
teardown and inspection.<br>
