Does anyone else think the practice of changing tasks after launch is a
bit dangerous?



Yes, I have experienced many in air task changes at Regionals and
Nationals. After seeing the effect on several start gaggles I make a
point of leaving the gaggle and going elsewhere to set up a new task.
This of course is a competitive disadvantage but the risk of doing it
the other way is unacceptable to me.

In air task changes should be discouraged and a min time of 15 minutes
between a task change and task opening should be mandated.

Glide Nav II allows multiple tasks to be defined but it still does not
allow an easy change between an area task and an assigned task nor does
it allow a defined task to be copied to a new task for editing.
