Blanik L-13 polar by
BTIZ
I have not seen any polar for the L-13 other than the one in the factory
manual POH. It does not reference the flap positions.
I have flown the L-13 and the L-23 (no flap)
For the L-13, the flaps do lower landing speed and the angle of the fuselage
on approach which affects the AOA of the wing. I...

I wrote the following article and submitted it to Soaring for
publication because it was something I was interested in and I thought
others would be too. It was rejected because the subject matter
wasn't suitable for soaring. Greg Cole is doing something
extraordinary at Windward Performance and...

Soaring not compatible with modern society? by
[email protected]
I'm wondering how much the modern reluctance to land out and desire for collision avoidance technology is driven by an underlying fear that if society knew about soaring, society would ban it. Granted no one wants to die or have anyone else die but we've been recreational flying for 100 years and...

Ka6e vs Foka4 by
Janos Bauer
Is there anyone who has experience with both of these sailplanes? They
seems at the same price range but I don't know what would be the
difference during xc flights. What about the maintenance, handling and
any other issues?
Thanks for your advice!

Sme 10 years ago I wrote a program for DOS named "Polar Explorer" - designed
for analyzing both theoretical and practical aspects of glider performance

Looking to replace the factory/European style tail lights.
Although attractive (??) I think they can be confusing for USA drivers following behind it.
Any suggestions for improvement and/or making them more USA "friendly"? And also wiring them for USA vehicles.
I have seen several trailers...
