I guess John, why
I guess John, why sould there be a deduct if I still make my time with a lower
launch cause the WL gave?
WL's seem like a great idea, but have proved over time to not really work, I
would rather see us go to 200 pound line.

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
12 volt batteries and others
with two 6 volt batteries.??

F3b winches are meausred using a clamp on amp meter and a volt meter
with the winch drums locked. This measures the stall current.Divide
the battery voltage just before the test by the current to get an
approximation of the overall resistance of the winch/battery combo. And
winch batteries
Mike Smith pretty much hit the nail on the head. The problem isn't the
line. The problem isn't the size of the model. Our TD style winches are
unnecessarily strong. I'd love to see the winches restricted at major
contests.

I like the idea of a weak-link.

Weak links?
How do you know as a competitor how much line tension you're pulling at
any given time? So you're suggesting penalizing a competitor who has his
model properly
