Default RE: Mission Impossible? Putting a pattern plane on a diet?

Yes, the rule is 5kg ready to fly no fuel. Unfortunately for electric guys, full and empty weigh the same. Now fortunately for the electric guys, they can build lighter because the airframe doesn't have to stand up to the vibrations of a glow engine.
