You're welcome. I have full trust in Derek but I do believe he needs to hear from those that care (whichever way that is). He told us that he was probably voting to keep things the same. Although I do not agree with him (and he knows it), everyone concerned needs to have their voice heard. Derek is the US Representative to the CIAM and he should be representing the majority. I would strongly suggest contacting him or your NSRCA DVP so that they can get the word to Derek. I do understand both sides of the fence but I am in full favor of equality between glow and electric. The only way to do that is to allow higher weight as the glow airframe must be more rigid to support the glow/gas motor. All planes should be weighed RTF in my opinion. Maybe 5500g isn't the answer but some weight is and that weight must be increased to allow the current planes. Otherwise, some of the glow planes would not make it.
