An IC plane weighed empty at 5Kg or full of fuel at 5.5Kg, isn't that the same? what about competition? when or how to weight the models? most contest do not comply with the FAI regulations as they have their own entity writing the rules, unless it is fully committed to FAI rules.

Also, FAI said there were only three countries who voted for the change when all the others did not supported that, so that is a case close, and, don't you guys think your representatives will know all the variables and what the top pilots or competing pilots in F3A(I mean active pilots on each countries F3A team trials) before making a proposal or either elect to defend it or not? I can not believe a representative say whatever he wants, as he is the voice of his country.

This forum is more for information, knowledge share and friendship, please don't think whoever writes here has a voice in FAI matters or rules, that is the reason and the job of the countries delegates, it will be better to probably write to them directly or use this forum to created some kind of commitment from each countries pilots to make their own meetings to discuss things like this and then be able to get to FAI, or whichever your country governing body is.

This is my point of view only as I do respect all others opinions, but do not agree with most of them in this regard.
