I like that idea of F3B winches. Wanna get a launch on steroids, try mono.
The problem with "break the line you fly it", is that sometimes the line
is the fault, not the pilot.
But many of todays planes can easily break braided line if dialed in
correctly, or if someone launches incorrectly (all over the place).

Either say that you break the line, you fly it.
Or everyone goes to F3b spec winches and everyone provides their own
launching equipment.

I'm sure this will be a very dynamic plane and competitive with the
Euro models. My concern is the launching equipment. With the current
crop of moldies, line breaks and winch bogging and ultimate failure
are becoming more prevelant. Heavy enough line for these new "super
ships," will be a burden for the lighter planes. Yes, I've CD'd lots
of contests and a few big ones.
We've tried some heavy line and it is great for the heavier planes
but the lighter planes and 2 meters have a helluva time overcoming
the line drag and weight.
Where do we draw the line?
