Flew the flight, it was all for real. SSA informed me that the FAI
would not accept the flight log from my Cambridge Model 20 logger
since they didn't file the last time around for certification. They
have only validated later models for world record level. So the file
wasn't sent. It's my fault for not knowing, and assuming it was OK
since all prior logs submitted for world records were flown with this
model. It has changed.

Whatever. This would have been number 15, and after a while they don't
seem to matter so much. Especially at what it costs to certify world
records. I can do better- 1000 km open distance is possible in the
Woodstock on a good day so if it presents itself, I'll fly the longer
flight and file it with a newer logger.

This is the first notice I have received in this regard.

No Gary, it was not your fault. One can not possibly keep up with such
bureaucracy.
This goes to show the meaningless of records, as the majority of true
record flights don't get approved or never filed.
This is also a big disappointment from Cambridge. You would expect
they will look after their many customers who fly with model 20.
Great flight Gary. You have the record in my book.

There will always be those who can fly record flights and those who
can only decline or approve them...
