Kirk:

It takes a bit of time to figure out at first, and the webpage is rather
confusing. Once you figure it out, however, it only takes a minute or
two to upload each flight. If I can figure it out, so can you!

Why aren't you guys entering your flights in the Aerokurier Online Contest?



Good question, Greg. I flew with Tony last Saturday, unfortunately
due to time constaints (had to go to a Mardi Gras party!) I had to
land early, so could only get off a 128 mile task at 62 mph - chasing
Tony most of the way. Lovely Cu's everywhere, although cloudbases
were a bit low for the desert - at Saturday's cruising altitudes
(about 4000 to 6000 ft) we are usually thinking about finding a place
to land!

We have a real busy race schedule out here, and anytime Tony is flying
it's a race, so no-one has really thought much about the OLC. Last
week I briefly looked it up, but when I saw what appeared to be a lot
of rules about what the flight had to be, I lost interest. I suspect
I was hasty in making that opinion, so I'm going to revisit it.

Any suggestions or comments about the OLC?
