<DIV>Rumor has it that FAI is considering a weight increase as well as
weighing electrics without batteries.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>No opinion from me except to consider a rule to allow us to immediately
adopt rather than have to wait a rule cycle... </DIV>
<DIV>Any comments on how we stay in sync with FAI or if we should? </DIV>

<DIV>Sure, we keep in step with FAI, as always, and try our best to foster a
system that allows US pilots to develop the skills that allow them to be
competitive at the World level. </DIV>
