<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>OK but that is not what the rules say! put in a
change for AMA pattern and if passed it will take effect in 2007. I'm just
conveying the standard that has been set by the FAI Ciam committee on how they
are interpreting the rules. The power generation is definitely a different
form....The problem is the glow or gasoline chemicals get burned or used up to
release their energy....The electric chemicals don't. Rather the energy that
is stored in those chemicals gets used up. Over time yes the chemicals will
change and not release the energy the same as they once did...But the
definition of a battery is:A device for storing electric energy. A battery
doesn't create energy it merely stores it and releases it. An electric motor
uses this electricity to create power, DO WORK.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The fueled IC engines use the fuel to create the
power and DO WORK! Both have to be re-fueled at the end of a
flight.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Do you replace the chemicals in the batteries at
the end of the flight? No because its the not the chemicals that are being
used its the energy that is stored in those chemicals. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I would agree a Take off weight limit would
be a possible solution. But a weight limit is a weight limit. The playing
field is equal NOW. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm not against the electric stuff at all. I have
been very exposed to it and I have flown it. I feel the same as Jason does it
about.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Is it an Advantage- NO</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Does it have advantages--YES Does it have some
draw backs--YES</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Does it fly better--NO</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Does it fly worse--NO</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Does it have less power--NO</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Does it have more power--NO</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Is it cheaper--NO</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Is it cleaner--Yes</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Is it quieter--NO our meters and NATS meters read
levels that show its actually the same</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Is it different YES</FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Is it exciting --YES</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I just think we need to not change the game to
allow the new technology to take over the show. let everything be used. By
changing the rules to allow electrics to weight without the batts is giving
the E-Power the advantage..because now the guy can stick a Sears Diehard in
it. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Electric is not at any disadvantage now against
glow. Both can be easily made to make weight!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So the argument is price for kits that can do
Electric will limit us to PL and ZN kits because they are light enough and
they cost too much. Well the Impact is like $800 and it will make weight JAS
did it and Kicked my butt with it!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I think if you drive the rules bigger it will
make the results bigger. They are what they are...live with them.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Bob has stated he is going to be flying 90 sized
ARFy in Masters. If you choose to make this model your electric then what's
the weight limit effect you. If you choose to build a PL Partner on E power
that's your choice it can make weight too. The Impact, the Lazulite, ZN line
has done the Evolis and the Enigma on E-power and they make the rules. The
Brio from Piedmont should be in the same class we'll see how things go as the
kits become available. </FONT></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
