No, it turns the event into an eyesight contest. Even a 1-minute
motor run will put a good SP400 plane out of visual range.
The new "unlimited motor run" rules work very well, with each pilot using
as much or as little motor run as he deems necessary. Duration score
begins when the motor is shut off, just like a winch event. This format
encourages lower launch heights and is much more of a thermal contest.
Just my $.02
