I think it is GREAT that our club members are thinking about working on their badges past the Bronze. One important comment about using the Sky Soaring Oudie for badge flight recording. It very useful GPS moving map display for flying. Unfortunately, it will not work for application for an SSA/FAI badge such as Silver, Gold and Diamond. You need an FAI approved logger which the Oudie is not.
I will keep an eye open for a used one.

Thanks Don! This was a surprisingly easy task for the altitude requirement of the Silver Badge which I have done before, but regrettably never took along a flight recorder to capture it. Don took the time to show me how the club’s Oudie flight recorder works (it is pretty simple) and I brought it along on my flight to see what would happen.
I encourage other members to get a tutorial on the Oudie and bring it along on your solo flights if it looks like a promising day. You may be happily surprised!
Next up are the Silver duration and distance flights with are admittedly harder.
