<body class='hmmessage'>Actually, larger fuselage volumes lend themselves very well to good structutal integrity. The inverse applies for skinny stuff. Provided that correct design principles are followed, and that there is good quality control over manufacturing processes, there is no reason for concern with large volume fuselages being strong enough. However, as soon as you raise the weight limit, you then need a beefier structure to carry it. So who wants that?<br><br><hr>From: rcpilot@wowway.com<br>To: nsrca-discussion@lists.nsrca.org<br>Date: Thu, 19 Aug 2010 18:53:00 -0400<br>Subject: Re: [NSRCA-discussion] weight difference<br><br>

the weight limit restriction has driven up the cost of aircraft and made
construction more difficult for even an accomplished builder. It also
creates a potentially unsafe vessel because of trying to make weight.
What is wrong with being innovative? The weight rule is obsolete and
restrictive. The planes are becoming cookie-cutter, boring, expensive
look alikes that have minute differences. My voice is to make the
change. Seems like in all endeavors those that are the loudest are the
ones saying NO CHANGE!!!. </span></font></p>

actually feel that you’re making my point in a way. When we were
restricted by engine displacement the size and weight were not in contention as
a limiting factor (though they were, just that without more power, they
didn’t come into play).</span></font></p>

argument at the time of removing the engine displacement was EXACTLY the
one being made today (only internationally instead of just domestically).
Which was that engine displacement rule was increasing costs because engine
manufacturers were trying to get the last 1% of power out of the existing
displacement. Thus the $300 OS Hanno Special which was an outrageous
price for a .61 engine. YS was doing the same on the 4 stroke side
(another dubious rule change to provide equity between 4 stroke and 2 stroke
power plants). </span></font></p>

the goal was to allow any engine…thus letting the “average”
guy fly a cheaper, but larger displacement engine. Did that work?
Is anyone successfully running the ST 2300?? Or did we just get bigger
planes that require bigger engines…up until we hit the size/weight limit
and now we get back to expensive Engines with more expensive CDI units?</span></font></p>

I don’t understand is that people don’t think the planes can get
any bigger because of the 2m rule. My Arch Nemesis was a FULL 2m airplane
in 1997… at 9lbs. We didn’t think they could get any
bigger then either. </span></font></p>

of that said, Contrary to Tim’s experience, I do try hard to listen to
members of my district. ALL of them…NOT just the vocal ones that post
prolifically on RCU or this list. And there are far more in favor of
maintaining the weight rule than eliminating it, or substantially raising
it. MOST…and I do mean MOST, really don’t care.
“tell me the rules, and I’ll play by them”. That
group, and it’s by far the largest group, wants consistency year to year

the problem is simple. IF the rules change, it clearly will help the

have not really caught on because they’re too difficult to make weight
with. Only the very best builders with very few limits on funding for all
the best and lightest equipment have made them work. Add a pound and that
will very likely change…to where all the top guys can make them work,
which will then push the average guy to try and make them work. At
the end of the day, all it adds is cost as we obsolete a whole generation of
viable aircraft to the dumpster. </span></font></p>

one needs to do for confirmation on that is to review the evolution of aircraft
that occurred when we removed the LAST limiter…engine
displacement. Prior to that, weight was only a secondary limiter
because displacement restricted how big of a plane you could carry
around. Once removed, we had 10 years of growing aircraft and growing
engines. All costing more, NOT just because the new stuff was more
expensive…that’s just natural inflation and evolution, but because
the lifespan of a model was shorter. Designs changed SIGNIFICANTLY
every year.</span></font></p>

that rule was made, planes had a 60 inch span, were 48 inches long and weighed
7 lbs. now they are volumetrically double or triple so the wing loading
is the same or lighter. Needs to go up at least a pound or two.</span></font></p>

I'm concerned that these new electric only planes that are designed to make<br>
weight won't hold up to the normal wear and tear of an average intermediate<br>
or advanced pilot or flying off of a rough grass runway. Is this a
valid<br>
concern? I think so but maybe I'm over reacting. That is why I'm
in favor<br>
of eliminating the weight limit altogether. The proposal to slightly
raise<br>
the weight limit won't allow someone to fly an electric Focus II for<br>
example.<br>

I've been following this with interest. E-power is looking better all the<br>
time and I probably will make the change. I like to build prefer a wood<br>
airplane. About how much total weight is in a suitable E-power system or<br>
empty airframe ready for radio etc? Any numbers readily available would be<br>
helpful in understanding the distribution of weight.<br>

And to recall.....that is the Spark with custom wings and stabs, which saves<br>
substantial weight? There are very few unmodified kits available that
are<br>
RTF electric at 10.25. There are some airframe examples for which glow
/<br>
electric are similar weight, but that is not the norm - not yet anyway - my<br>
opinion.<br>
<br>
My electric Bravo was 10 lbs even at the 2009 NATs (only 4 oz more than the<br>
Vivat I flew in 2005) and I would be scared of the structure if it were any<br>
lighter. Of course it could be lighter still IF I went from 5000 to
4350<br>
lipos (~6 oz) and ditched the dual RX batts and Vregs (~2 oz) and used<br>
lighter ESC and wiring (~ 2 oz).<br>
<br>
Point being....even tho 10 lb electrics are possible, and becoming more<br>
common, it is still pretty easy to build electrics at 11+ lbs without<br>
careful planning and attention to detail. I think it will become a<br>
non-issue soon enough.....even in Europe and Asia electrics are coming on<br>
strong.....so the glow kits will become increasingly scarce.<br>

I would argue that you can't "disregard" the airframe given that an
all<br>
electric airframe is much lighter.<br>
<br>
My answer to the question? There is almost no
difference. I'm flying a<br>
full 2M plane that weighs 10lbs 4oz with light batteries, 10lbs, 8oz with<br>
very heavy batteries. My two Black Magics with glow weighed
10lbs 6oz and<br>
10lbs 8oz RTF minus CDI (add approx 4oz for that).<br>
<br>
I believe we're just now seeing full electric designs that are optimized for<br>
weight and are coming in light. Prior to that, many of the
designs still<br>
had unnecessary structure as a legacy from Glow. I'm pretty sure that<br>
evolution is not complete yet either.<br>

Tough question. Will you insist on using 30C lipos, when 20C lipos<br>
are much lighter? Do you plan on using a particular motor? Motor<br>
weights vary substantially. Some ESCs are a lot heavier than others.<br>
<br>
My guess would be that the weight difference between a complete<br>
electric-power system and a complete glow-power system, disregarding<br>
the airplane, would be 10-16 ounces.<br>
