RE: Overweight Oxai Aries, Broken down YS DZ170cdi, my return to pattern after 15 years.
No need to worry i dont think....i see folks out there competing with there 12.5 lb electrics at every contest....the 11lb rule will go the way side....chatted with someone on the AMA rule committee...they reviewing it now...(most likely is 12.5 lbs limit ( and GP will be weighed with flight fuel on board) or an electric weigh in less power plant batteries.....the 11 lb rule made it a 4000 dollar sport to competitively enter...which is far from their intent.... your coming in overweight with a 170 cdi...go electric with batteries for a power plant and it will weight 1.54 lbs more. not grams....
