Default RE: Updated Weight Requirements?

Just throwing this out there for a point of discussion…(don’t want to lose momentum! )

For those that say weighing electrics with batteries is grossly unfair, please look at the following graphs that plot the flying weight vs. flight time of a glow and e-powered plane. The first chart is current state; the second is a proposed future state. Given the divergence throughout the flight in the future state, how is this more fair?
