It seems to me that weighing electric planes without the batteries would give unfair advantage to electircs. On the other hand weighing them with batteries compared to a dry glow plane isn't fair either.

Seems like a good compromise would be to give a weight allowance to the electrics equal to the number of ounces it takes to fly a YS 1.60 for 10 minutes (the time limit of the FAI pattern).

I'm anxious to see how the weight turns out on this new electric version of the Pinnicale. Please keep us updated.
