Angus,
Would it really ??
Surely all that would be needed is some lighter/smaller engines ,exhausts and batteries.
This would have to be cheaper also.
BTW I'm not for a moment suggesting such a change - I'm just wondering how people really feel about the holy grail of 5Kg and cost. Ie while having a specification for what actually flies, as opposed to a spec,, with exceptions/qualifications - weigh with a,b & c if ?? but without x,y and/or z if ??.

Hi Angus,
I wonder how would everybody feel about the idea of 5Kg +or- 1% ,including fuel and or propulsion batteries.
It would seem like a good way to have a level playing pitch and the FAI 5Kg limit.

'Hi B,
I do see where you are coming from, but it would immediately render a lot, perhaps even all IC planes illegal which is not what we want to do.
