The real question is "why fly different classes in the first place?". If
the tasks are all the same, then why change to planes that have less
functionality or lower capability? Even F3J contests are just TD with a man
tow. So why are there
different events for the same thing?
Cross country is a distance task.
HL has a completely different task structure.
F3B is TD, Speed and Distance.
F3B, 2M, Unlimited, (Scale Aerotow?) and RES are all the same tasks for the
pilot with different planes, so why bother flying different classes to begin
with?

If you are going to buy an airplane
buy a 2meter. It qualifies to fly in both 2meter and unlimited contests!
And if you're not practicing with a 2meter you aren't learning
anything.... IMHO.
Don't forget that it should be a RES 2M so you can fly the same plane almost
all week.
