Default Shortest distance flown by wood?? :D

I think every one should have to so the Silver Badge in one flight,
and twice, like I did.

Barograph incorrectly wound on day #1, correctly wound on Day #2!

I also think Dennis Wright had it right when he "Chose" to do it in a
1-26 rather than one of the glass ships available to him. It's like
the Spirit of the Thing!

Seriously, I think a 'Variable' task based on glide ratio would be a
great idea. I'm told that in the 'Old Days' a Silver C was considered
entrance to the world of Cross Country and Racing, the Gold was Master
of the Art, and Diamonds and Lennies were for Lengendary Status.

I throughly intend to fly my 1-26 for all my badges, and at least 1 or
2 Diamonds, then my Hanger Queen Libelle 301 can be flown!
