Kevin,

We should get together with a few others and map out some turpoints
and strategies for flying around here. I pretty much flew where the
lift was, but did have a strategy that allowed me to take advantage of
the lift and get some distance. That being said, the guys that went to
Darrington also had a good plan and got some nice distances too, to
bad they were not flying with loggers.

Even though I've read the rules a dozen times, it doesn't always mean
I understand them. It makes perfect sense now. I knew about the 6
legs in a flight limit, and the devalued points for legs 5 and 6. I
just didn't put it all together. If I do take the 7.4 km extra credit
for the "first leg", I'll be killing myself by moving the 4th leg to
the 5th spot and hitting it with the 0.8% raw km penalty.

What was throwing me for a loop was that I could see the trace
identified my release well, but I couldn't understand why I wasn't
getting credit for the distance.

Thanks, Now that it makes sense, I'm going to have to rethink my
strategies for posting OLC flights. We fly in some very difficult
terrain. High mountains and low clouds on this particular day, so I
really didn't map out a strategy for maximizing my flight. Pretty much
went where the lift was developing, rather than trying to maximize my
first 4 flight legs. I'll have to try some pre planned strategy the
next time.

Thanks,
-Kevin
