Apr 17, 2020 at 14:53 comment added Gerhard Paseman I'm suggesting an idea for how to construct a variety of examples. Let some sufficiently complicated graph class be called C. Make your post as above, but replace planar by C. I'm suggesting a counterexample by picking a graph outside of C, putting small weights on the edges, and large weights on the complementary edges.

Apr 17, 2020 at 14:39 comment added Manfred Weis @GerhardPaseman are you trying to enforce a violation of one of Kuratowski's criteria for the planarity of graphs? $K_{3,3}$ is a Moebius ladder graph and thus locally planar, but not globally by virtue of the twist. At least a clever idea for a possible counter example.
Apr 17, 2020 at 14:19 comment added Gerhard Paseman Probably not. Let V have six vertices, and put small weights on a K3,3 subgraph and large weights on the rest of the edges. I suspect there is a weighting that will leave the nonplanar digraph after removing the heavy edges. Gerhard "Weighted Graphs Can Be Tricky" Paseman, 2020.04.17.
