Maybe I need to eat a larger breakfast but I just thought about this idea...
OK, what about a combination of power limit and timing. I was thinking about exactly how I broke line this last season (a total of three times) and its always the same. I used too much pedal for my model setup within the first 2-3 seconds. After I altered my setup by simply tapping up the plane until it it was at reasonable alt I could go for an aggressive zoom. My launches were just as good as a full pedal approach. What about a modulated power for the first 3 seconds of the launch? If we can limit the overall power why can't we limit it at the most likely point in the launch to cause a line break IMO the first 3 seconds)? Once the plane has attained decent altitude and more line is out, dispersing the load the power can let loose and go to 100%. too much thought maybe ... would that work? You could still use lighter line, everyone is happy and its a level solution for everyone.
