2012<BR>><BR>><BR>>> John Fuqua and I tried to change the weight
rule to keep glow-powered airplanes without fuel at 5000 grams and change the
battery-powered airplanes with batteries to 5500 grams. It went over
like a lead balloon with the Contest Board.<BR>>><BR>>> On
average, a 5000 gram glow-powered airplane can weight more than 5500
grams at takeoff and land at just above 5000 grams (spare fuel).
If a battery-powered airplane takes off at 5000 grams, it will land at
5000 grams.<BR>>><BR>>> I don't understand the resistance to
changing the weight rule for battery-powered airplanes if the size limit is
the same.<BR>>><BR>>> Ron Van Putte<BR>>><BR>>> On Dec
