I'm thinking about the easiest way for handicapping. If it were one design that was the same weight, glow or ekectic and size (smaller Mig) handicapping the thrust would work. Just use some fishing scales, string to go around the tail and a smooth table would work. Limit throttle travel to match the model with the least thrust. I'm not sure how that would work with arming the ESC when you plug a flattery in though.
Not sure with different sizes and types though, unless everything is against the clock like Dave's system.

Does the scanner racing in QLD start their race on the ground like international FAI pylon racing or like large scale racing (and full size) by counting down to a mass start?

If it's a ground start, staggered starts following qualifying trials would also work. That way there wouldn't be any messing around with the throttle limit. It wouldn't cater for the scoundrels that would purposefully fly slowly or poorly during qualifying though. That would work for an in-club competition I would expect. It would be wise to make our own events the same as scanner racing for the benefit of our serious pilots who wish to take it to the next level.
