Also encourages stronger motors, ESC, & battery systems to get the plane up faster in less time than thy neighbor.  The new "unlimited motor run" rules work very well, with each pilot using as much or as little motor run as he deems necessary.  Duration score begins when the motor is shut off, just like a winch event.  This format encourages lower launch heights and is much more of a thermal contest.     Just my $.02   Lenny
