Default What Polar

I believe the Cirrus L265 is the factory designation of the original 17.7 meter configuration.

Try Googling it!

SeeYou mobile?
SeeYou has two polars, Cirrus 18m, with a L/D of 39:1 and Cir.L265,
with a L/D of 44:1
The 44:1 matches the Cirrus’s L/D, but I’ve never seen it called Cir.
L265 ?, and when you google
Cir.L265 it shows pics of a Open Cirrus.

Thanks for the information,
I'm still curious about the Cir.L265 in Seeyou mobile,
maybe it's an extended span Cirrus like Moffat modified in the sunship
games?
