I would much rather see something similar to what you just proposed, Scott.

I do think it's stupid that we weigh electric airplanes with batteries and glow airplanes without fuel.
How about this.... weigh the planes with DISCHARGED batteries at 5000g?


(couldn't resist )

Brian

p.s. I actually favor some variant of this rule, but obviously, just dropping the weight to 4100g will give electrics an immediate monopoly. I'd favor dropping electrics to 4100g and leaving glow as is.....
