You laugh. In our club, all Silver distance flight must be done in a 1-26.
Seriously.

At the end of the day, what we've done is exactly the mistake I pointed

out
in the beginning. We've allowed paranoia over a few folks who may want

to
fudge their gold distance flight or silver climb lead to a situation

that
literally requires people to stick with 1940's technology or fork over

an
extra $500 for an "approved" logger. For this cost we get what

exactly?
The satisfaction in knowing that, if a guy wants to fly his Silver

Distance
in a Nimbus IV, at least he didn't cheat? Am I the only one who sees a
certain irony in this????

LOL!!!!
You must have missed the WCG/IGC announcement that henceforth, all Silver
Distance flights are to be done in PW5s.
