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.

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 and write that time down on your card... For example if it were a 10 min task and you towed for 6 sec the best time you could get would be a 9:54 even though you flew a perfect 10... Or even better... Double the time on tow penalty, so if it was a 6 sec tow the best time you could get would be 9:48. Seems to me it would throw more strategy and fun into a normal TD contest Suggestions ? Comments?
