After watching the World F3J I had an idea for a contest...
Incorporate the time penalty on tow that they have in F3J but in a TD format.
You would have a timer at each winch who would time your launch
with a
conclusion no one wants to fly!

Wow, another how you launch discussion! Check out the 18 pages of stuff on
RCGroups-Electric Sailplanes if you want to get all the in's and out's of
launching in a TD contest with motors. It is under the F5J thread
http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=883683.
It is a worthwhile
That would be interesting. It could force short tows even in conditions that
are nominal. It's also good discipline for learning short launches and low
alt recovery.
I think the added man power requirement and potential for human error would
kill this if you added a launch time keeper at each
with a
conclusion no one wants to fly!

...F3j with the current rules is broken. It is very much the luck of the
timer. I know the past few team selections, which timer you had was
good for a 1 second difference in flight time

Mike's point may
if
there is much leeway taken on the timing in order to get a better landing.

How about adding the time on tow as a bonus so you dont penalize the
non-moldy pilots that know how to use a winch. Maybe we could stop the no skill
full pedal strength
And you are going to handle line breaks on the winches how? There isn't a line
used that can't be busted on a full-go-for-it-screw-the-abuse-of-winch launch.
Been seeing it for nearly 30 years and doing for nearly as long.

So for DP and JW to beat us, they would have the shortest time on the tow, and
a hunski landing. The TD portion would bury those that did not get their time.
I predict some folks might stress the equipment in order to gain advantage.
AMA TD rules have the CD responsible for the launch equipment.
