<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The electrics do not need a handicap assist. If
you give them one you might as well outlaw IC engines. Other than cost they
already have the advantage... and as technology moves along they will soon
dominate on their own. Get ready to get onboard or get ready to find a new
obsession (hobby?).</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Gentlemen,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It seems that the issue started (and someone
please correct me if I'm wrong) regarding weighing electrics with or
without their 'fuel'. The discussion progressed to what constituted
the 'fuel' and I guess it ended up with the electrons only as being
'it'. Consequently--and it seemed a bit arbitrary--someone 'ruled'
that the batteries for our purposes were part of the
airframe.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I know very little about electricity--but I
DO know it takes the chemical mixture IN them to 'fuel' the
'engine'. It would seem logical to weigh electrics without their
chemical mixture 'fuel' the same way we weigh others without their
chemical mixture 'fuel'. No big Rules Change--just a logical DECISION on a
QUESTION.</FONT></DIV>
