Hi,
A customer just purchased a ClearNav vario from me.  I offered to enter the 
polar into the unit for him.  He flies a Valentin Taifun motorglider.  I 
have not had any luck finding polar data.  I found general information and 
wing span, wing area, etc. on Wikipedia.  Does anyone have any suggestions 
for polar data for this motorglider or one similar.  It is somewhat like a 
Grob 109 or Dimona - but with retractable landing gear.
Best Regards,

Hi Dan,
Thank you.  That is an excellent resource!  The data on page 52 and the 
polar on page 53 are all I need.
Thank you,
