What I don't understand is that it seems like only electric guys complain about making weight. I know of many glow planes that are right on the verge, and several guys that fly YS that can't run a CDI unit because of the weight. I also know electric guys that are 1/2# or more under weight and the same of glow guys. I don't think it is 100% power plant
If the weight limit were increased and it allowed those guys to use a CDI - wouldn't that make their per flight cost cheaper since the CDI uses less fuel? Ok, I realize that the initial investment of the CDI is more expensive but...
Playing devil's advocate here...
