Before I vote Id like to hear the props and cons to this.

Proposal 4 - Modification and addition of rules for Electric 1/8 Scale Unlimited Hydroplane in Section 28 - Electric.

Reasoning:

Current rule:
E. SPECIALITY CLASSES
6. ELECTRIC 1/8 SCALE UNLIMITED HYDROPLANE
b. Motor Specifications
i) Power parameters for this class shall comply with class "T" specifications, as noted in rule D.1.a in this section
Note: “T” specs = Any amount and/or size of motors / 18.50 - 42.30 Volts / 12000 MaH max

Proposed rule:
E. SPECIALITY CLASSES
6. ELECTRIC 1/8 SCALE UNLIMITED HYDROPLANE
b. Power Specifications
