I think the only way the perceived or apparent inequity can truly be resolved between I/C and Electric is to separate them into different competitions with specific rules for each. So the debate will continue until then.
As far as the weight rule goes for FAI i have seen it interpreted as you describe and as I have.
If you wish to have a model at 5050g. fly FAI

I know you are more than capable, and give us less talented up and comers a shot at the finals in masters or at least one more opening. I should be ready for them in say 10 or 12 more years with the proper practice.[sm=drowning.gif] [sm=drowning.gif][sm=drowning.gif][sm=drowning.gif][sm=lol.gif][sm=lol.gif][sm=lol.gif][sm=lol.gif][sm=lol.gif] Just Kidding...
