All the comments are on target but one has to stay on the "club contest" focus. A small club or at least a small club contest turnout (less than 12) makes F3B kind of out of the question. Our club has several levels of pilots so maybe the right thing to do is have separate tasks for each level in the same contest.
Could really be challenging to beat the entry level guys flying 5 min when the "Masters" have to do 15. Wadayathink?
