Default Top six OLC Distances on Sat 08/09 - Five were in STD or 15M gliders

Let's hear it for the STDs and 15M ships!

Last Sat 08/09/2014, they took most of the top six places in the U.S. ranging from 643km to 881km. I was the top flight declaring and completing a 750km triangle in my Discus 2A; followed by Marty Eiler - ASW-27; Peter Deane - LS-8; David Greenhill - Discus 2; six place Peter Kovari - DG-300 (that I used to own).

Picking the right day, flying with determination and skill really makes a difference.
