great flight! 1500 KM in a 304CZ

Still, a very respectful flight, but definitely not a 1500km by any
standard.
Not a 1500km flight by FAI badge standards (4 legs maximum) and not by OLC
standards (6 legs maximum), but there is a standard that allows up to 12
legs: the MAT task used at SSA contests.
More precisely, the MAT allows a maximum of 11 turnpoints, and a big
"attaboy" will go to the first RASer who can correctly explain why the rules
specify that odd number. (Hint: that number goes back long before the
introduction of the GPS flight recorder)
