Hi Chaps,

Great discussion,
Personally, i think an weight-increasement would do just fine to the sport. As long the size limit (2+2) is kept as it is, i think it would reduce some of the cost needed to stay below todays weight-limit.

There could be a possebility that the airframe would grow bigger ( fuse-size )and thereby take advantage of new rules, but i am not sure it will happen, i think it has stabilized more or less.

With todays limit; even an light airframe will need expensive items (motor, reg, bat , u/c, spinner etc ) to keep limit. Those el-pilot`s who can not still keep the limit will need to reduce the battery capasity with following consequenses, or buy expensive batteries.

I think that the high-end pilots would still keep weight as low as possible (below todays limit) ,even with new rules, ... The different with new rules ,as i see it ; would open up for heavier plane`s and a possible lower cost.

Just my thoughts
