Nothing stops this man... http://www.f3x.no/f3j/2002/bilder/Blades2_l.jpg
From our trip to Finland WC F3J in 2002 http://www.f3x.no/f3j/2002/
BTW you dont need winch. Just hook up 150m mono in the ground and use it as a bungee. Good 150-160m starts and with a 4-5m/s head wind you easily go beyond 200m... But beware only models that are setup for a good F3J/B launch.
If it had not been for the launch time one could use that in F3J... I have a video somewhere... We were testing lines before the championship and in 8-9m/s we had to go for 1,7mm mono (that's very thick) for it to hold my Superior launches.

Ah, it was Jim McCarthy who was telling me about this... he just reminded me of the story. They were doing this over in Turkey with full carbon F3B ships and 400m of strong mono. Yowsa!
