Tony,

Would a weight increase for the advancement classes but not Masters be OK in your opinion? That would certainly allow those in Intermediate and Advanced the ability to use older airframes that have gained weight due to repairs or cheaper electric gear.

If that is not acceptable, I would be very curious why. If a person wants to compete at the National level in Masters and wants to win, They are no doubt going to pay for what they need to do so. If it means buying 3 sets of 4300mAh batteries just for the Nats and using 5000 mAh for local contests then can we not agree it is the cost of being competitive?

Again, I'm on a very tight budget this year but working hard on making weight with the plane I'm building for electric and using less than top of the line motor/ESC/battery combo.
