that we have this stupid 254 pound ultralight rule? It makes no sense to me... it seems to me that taking it to three hundred pound limit, excluding a power plant, would result in a much safer and doable design that would enable far more people to participate... Look at the EMG-6 https://electricmotorglider.com/ you can build it as an a 103 platform and if you do anything to improve it wham it now has to classified as an Experimental... I think that 254 pound rule is asinine... it may be time to march on Washington... what group of morons came up with that number anyway??? Boot them out.
