RE: flight logging
I use a program called Flight Log. You can download it at

This program goes way beyond just logging your flights. It is a database that will track everything you do with this hobby. I've used to catalog everything I have for insurance reporting.
Logging your flying time is a nice feature. It shows you how much time you've had in the air. So far for 2005 I've got just over 7 hours of air time.
Check it out.
