LX-Polar Program by GM
Hi all, does anybody have a usable, step-by-step decription of the LX-Polar program? The instructions that came with the manual of my LX-20-2000 are pretty useless. I have a polar curve for my glider and I am trying to calculate the factors a, b and c used to define the polar. Thanks, Uli Neumann
