Default OLC Questions

Kirk, I gotta call BS on loving to fly in southern Illinois. What you're
really experiencing is the joy of flying an LS-6! Been there, done
that! Loved it! :-D

And don't forget available time to fly! So there should be a HUGE handicap against retired old farts!

Seriously, re original post: YGBSM. OLC is fun, and within a club or a homogeneous wx/terrain area, can be an interesting "contest", but it does not replace real contests. If you want a "fair" comparison, go to a contest.

Flying in non-OLC friendly southern Illinois, and loving it.

Well, flying in IL is better than not flying somewhere else!

And you get to enjoy the scenery better - since you rarely get above 5000' (pattern altitude out west, at times...)

How is that Stemme doing for ya?
