You don't take F test images to the second level (group level). You only
take con images.
How easy it is to do F tests (or ANOVAs) at the group level depends on
whether you're taking more than one con image per subject to the group
level. If you do take more than one, it's a repeated measures design, and
while it can be done, it's a lot more complicated than if there's just one
image per subject.
Best thing to do is search this list for advice, and also consult the
manuscript "ANOVAs and SPM," by Henson and Penny:
