For the remote site problem, keep in mind that you can claim through
the OLC PDA interface on many mobile devices. If you have a SD logger,
and a mico SD card in an SD adapter, you can just take the micro SD
card from your logger to your phone to make a claim as long as you
have cell coverage, a web browser, and a data plan.


It's often hard enough to get a voice connection in huge portions of
the western US, let alone a reliable data link.

So, if one takes a long tow of more than 15km from airport A and
releases within 15km of airport B, can the flight then be claimed as
launching from B?

What if the glider and towplane do a touch & go at airport B? Yes,
I've done T&G on tow.

No, that will not be covered by the rule.

Yes, that will be counted as take-off from airport B.

The new OLC season has started. There are a few rule changes everyone
should know about.

The FAI-OLC score is now a 30% bonus on the OLC Classic score, and
this combined score is now called OLC-Plus.

For the OLC classic score, legs 5 & 6 are no longer devalued. All six
legs are scored @100%.

There is now a Barron Hilton Challenge for flights on an
electronically pre-declared triangular course.

Most importantly, the submission deadline has changed to 48 hours
after landing (not midnight Tuesday as before).

For more info, go to the OLC web site:

So has the OLC become antisemitic, anti-Christian and anti all
religions other than Islam? The rules have become draconian and geared
toward only those that have Saturday and Sunday free to fly, fly from
their local glider port with a house thermal within 15 km and have
instant access to the Internet. Yes they may be supported by
advertisers, but the advertisers are there because there is traffic to
the site. It is time for a new OLC site that listens to the pilots
and creates rules that are more inclusive and reasonable.

Boycott the current OLC!

A few suggestions:

1. At least three days to submit a file, four would be better
2. Drop the 15 km rule for non-motor gliders.
3. Make the league at least three days (or best two out of three),
i.e. Friday through Sunday so those of all faiths have an equal chance
to compete.
