Hi,

I have updated my Remde_Polar_Analysis.xlsx Excel spreadsheet.

I have combined what was previously 3 spreadsheets into a single
spreadsheet.

You enter polar data for your glider type and adjust the polar to match
your particular glider weight.

Polar data can be entered in "Cambridge", "Reichmann", or
"Naviter/LXNAV" format.

You can also enter MacCready and Headwind and Sink values and see how
they affect the Speed-To-Fly and polar plot.

I also added Final Glide tables.

It is available for FREE here:

Good Soaring,
