Sir,
You may like to consider (weight with payload)/(weight without payload), instead of just payload to determine the winner.
This will allow planes of different sizes to compete on equal terms.
Otherwise the biggest motor/plane will win.
Regards.
P.S. I remember searching for your father's house in Begumpet and meeting your brother Ajit(?) in 1974 or so. So must have first come to your house in Delhi over 40 years ago. How time flies!

What is going to be the payload?
I have an airframe which is hand launched and belly landing(e.i. without landing gear) can I use it?

Prateek,
The requirement is enumerated above-plane has to takeoff from ground no hand launch payload ratio will be calculated as follows:-
Weight of aircraft in flying status with batteries/motor etc=x
maximum weight carried in any flight =y
Payload ratio is =Y/X,Whoever has the max payload ratio wins,three attempts will be permitted and highest pay load carried will be taken into account in any of the three flights.

The thumb rule seems to be 20%of empty wt.
Will try 60- 100% of empty wt on sunday (if no rain) and report results.

@prateek13
Just think.
How can the .46 ax be 460 watts?
It is 1.6 hp.
How many watts is that?

@flytrack
Thanks for incorporating my suggestion of payload ratio instead of just payload.
Next suggestion.
What about postal qualifying rounds?
1st round videos of carrying 1:1
2nd round videos of carrying 2:1
These can qualify for Pinjore.
Feasible or bar set too high?
Regards.

I knew the answer.
Just wanted to give you a hint so you could answer your own question.
But no one is answering my question.
Anyone carrying 1:1?
Anyone carrying 2:1?
More?
