Guys, I look at it this way. When I get to go to a contest, I am already happy to not be flying and not working. I have CD some contests myself in the past so I know what the CD and his crew have gone through to put the contest on so I can attend and I appreciate that. The last thing I am worried about is the size of line they have on their club winches whether I am flying an Icon or 2 meter. I go up to the line and launch. If I break the line, I know not to push it so hard the next time. I have never been denied a relaunch for a broken line so I have never had to just fly it out. If I break a line, I always try to volunteer to help fix the next line break after my flight since it is hard to fix the one you just broke when you are normally sent to the next winch to get in line to go. If you are flying a 2 meter and winch is strung with heavy line so what. You should have the opportunity to get just as high a launch as the other guys flying 2 meters so what is the big deal. Are we not really all doing this as way to get away from work and troubles of the day to spend quality time with friends. I think it is cool that Don is coming out with a new plane and that we should be talking about the merits of the new plane, not worrying about how well the winch lines are going to hold up to it. BTW, are there any pictures out there anywhere yet of this new Beast?
