I really should know the answer - Even or Odd altitude ?

I've done most of my flying) and elsewhere, I've both been assigned by ATC;
and also requested and been granted, by ATC, WAFDOF clearances.

What's WAFDOF? Wide-area failure, do one's finest?

I am heading for Sun 'n Fun from Ohio in April and will file IFR over 3
flight legs.
This will be my first flight heading South under instrument rules..
My heading will change from West of South to East of South several times
during each leg of this flight.
The question is do I file for even or odd altitudes ?
I am thinking that I should file the appropriate altitude relative to the
heading to my first waypoint.

I know I should know the answer to my question, but dang this flying
stuff, you are always learning :-)

I just love responses where the responder spends more time
suggesting hitting the 'net to get the answer than to just
provide the answer, not including the respondees time to
hit the 'net to get the answer. Not everyone in the world
is continuously connected to the net with a high-speed
connection nor are they fans of Google.

If you don't have access to the 'net, how were you able to
post your question here?

So you don't want to search Google, and you want someone else
do it for you?

Quite often I'll look something up myself, as I don't want to wait for
someone else to answer the thread. Then I'll post a link as an answer
for others. Often, but not in this case, the link will have far more
information than I care to type.

In my part of the woods, we call it "contributing useful information."

What did your post contribute?

Since you're obviously very concerned with bandwidth on your dial-up,
why did you waste it with an answer containing no useful information?
