OLC comment, MOP logging deactivated

This is the OLC, not the world championships. There's no official observer of the pilot or even the type of aircraft. If I set my glider type to a T21 and fly an EB29 I can also cheat.

Why is this standard not applied to jets - often not detected even at full power, or even petrol engines? You can wrap a Nano in some foam and put it in a box and I bet it won't detect a rotary engine.

Perhaps Jeffrey has a suboptimal install, and he should fix that.

Perhaps the problem the OLC is trying to solve is installations that appear to
show full power properly, but can not detect low power operation, as appears to be
case in Jeff's Silent.

Why do we care what OLC says, anyway?Â* Why so many rules, when there's
nothing to be gained other than frustration when one's flight is
rejected.Â* I have yet to see any trophies, cash or the ubiquitous hot
chicks flowing from any flight.Â* As stated above, this is not world
competition, only the place where, it seems, most glider pilots post
their flights.Â* I keep posting on OLC only out of habit in case any of
my friends are interested.

I recall back in the 90s when we had a map posted on the club house wall
and we would use stick pins and string to show our flights if we felt we
had made a good one.
