Anyway, I find F3B winches to be kinda wimpy compared to what we commonly 
use, but they have two kool aspects, they are loaded with mono, and the 
drums lock so there is no feeding the line back out.  Given some wind, you 
can really load a model up on a F3B winch.  And the really class act 
pilots in F3B have some launch techniques that load up their heavier F3B 
models probably as much as the F3J guys, i.e. circle towing or the wide 
swoops they take to the sides to really stretch out the line and get a 
whip into the ping.
Yes!!  I have seen Rich Grandpa of F3B Burnoski do some awesome launches 
using this method.  A sight to be seen.
