For those who advocate a weight increase, why not just eliminate it? Once we start building to the new weight limit, won't we have to go through this again?

Also, for all those contributing to this thread, it would be helpful if you clearly stated which side of the fence you are on if it cannot be implied from your post.
(From the RCU weight poll, 58% feel no change is needed...will this hold up?)

My opinion...While I find the disparity of no fuel vs. batteries odd, I don’t think a change is necessary (and I fly electric.) Asking for a change now equates to the person buying a home near the airport and then complaining about the noise.
This disparity seems to be keeping things pretty level.

If cost is the real issue (e or IC), I don’t see any harm in creating an allowance for the advancement classes. I wouldn’t expect this to have any effect on contest attendance, but it does help maintain the value of the planes as they are handed down/repaired.
