I have owned three gliders with experimental certs. All you have to
do to fly outside of your 300nm radius is FAX a letter to the FSDO at
the new location. Easy.
As far as the local FSDO guy/gal saying that OLC doesn't count as a
contest...it is supported by the SSA. Anyway, many of us have learned
over the years that every person at every FSDO interprets the rules/
regs the way they want. And of course, their interpretation is the
only correct one. Just smile, agree, say thank you and comply. Then
move on.

I love talking with FAA people at every opportunity to express my
frustration with this culture of individual interpretations of the
rules. The answers are even more entertaining.

The small effort needed to write a Program Letter and to use a FAX
machine when travelling is well worth it.

Anyway, that's my spin on this topic.
