Actually Ed,
If you get a line break you fly it at LISF.
As for new line we don't normally put on fresh line anymore. We
discovered that new line had more breaks than older line, unless it was
really rashed up. A lot of the Memphis Twine has bad spots in it.
We started noticing once the bad
Finally, the truth and the best approach

So guys, here is my take on the line break issue. It is very much like
the F3B style...of course.
The system that is breaking the lines is the motor power and line
strength combination. If you attached the line to a brick wall and hit
the switch the motors we use today will break all but

plenty of bananas to feed them...

HE he, I get it. Embarrased to say that it took me a while though.
Happy Holidays to all you nutty glider guiders out there.
Tip a few egg nogs, enjoy a nice cigar, and look forward to the '08 season.
Cheers all.

Maybe a weak link in the line or auto release like you have with full
sized sailplanes is the answer -- they harder they try, the lower they
launch.
Its only a minority who feel they have to really stress out the launch
kit. People who fly Sharons, for example (they know who they are,
Thanks you Mike for suggesting a resistor. I just finished making 6 resistors for the CASL Phoenix contest in February for the sole purpose of making less powerful Ford Long Shaft winches. The winches will be less powerful than last years winches because of the many line breaks last year. The line
Gordy will be. ;-)

Good discussions and comments. Glad to see you stepping up Rick and
testing the waters.
I for one think that the line is getting too heavy because the
winches are just too powerful.
So who's going to draft and propose the rules change? Should the
wording and strength be same as F3B
Hey Tony E., you are wrong about the largest ship to win the Nats. It was DP
with his Insanity, 3.7M.
And for the record, the line used at the Nats is 290# line from MT.

You should investigate options on the field coils. The FLS can be built
as a 6V, 12V, or 24V. You definitely do not want the 6V variety But
that is just what most people try to get to be more powerful.
Beware of resistors. Lots of heat.
Remember, with the resistor, folks are just
Also, if you have real balls, you can adjust the timing to make the
winch weaker.

It's not a big thrill to me, but I think most flyers really enjoy the big zooms. I got a 12V wind motor because I didn't know any better. It launches gliders fine, even big ones(134 and 85 oz.), but it doesn't power the big zoom.
Academic for me now because somehow I lost track of it in the
Gordy is right. I made a poor word selection. No one FORCES anyone to do
anything.
My intention was to say that, in order to remain competitive, you will likely
find it necessary to go to stronger, more expensive planes. This makes it
harder for sport flyers who do not have big budgtes to
