color:navy'>I agree Mike. I have a hard time believing that the volume of
the planes can get much bigger before they start exploding in the air.
Eliminate the weight limit. If the overseas manufacturers keep making
planes to meet the 11 lb limit so be it. Some manufacturers in the US may
make kits that are better suited for NSRCA and some will not. Either way
the selection increases. I’m concerned these planes are getting
more and more fragile. This is defeating one of the benefits of going
electric (air frame longevity).</span><o:p></o:p></p>

font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>IMO, 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 The weight rule is obsolete and restrictive.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><o:p></o:p></p>

font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>I 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><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;
font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>The 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><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;
font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>So 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><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;
font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>What 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><o:p></o:p></p>

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 to year. That saves
them the most money as they get a much longer lifespan from their investment.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

confirmation on that is to review the evolution of aircraft that occurred when

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

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>

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>
