Of course, I could just go out to the glider and try it, but that
can't happen till this weekend...

Woohoo, contest season is firing up!

There should be no difference in what the USB adapter would see with
an USB thumb drive vs. a USB to SD card adapter. Obviously test with
your SD card adapter.

I don't see why Winscore or a CD would care about a thumbdrive vs. an
SD card. Somebody has a really fast USB2 or Firewire SD card reader
and is comparign that to a USB memory stick (which differ in
performance like SD cards do) and the performance in copying a several
100 kbyte or so file to the computer hard drive is significant?
