I've recently purchased an LS-3a. My P.O.H. does not include a Polar Curve Graph, so I'm having difficulty finding difficulty in finding speeds for Min. sink, speeds to fly in Headwind/Tailwind, and in sink. Any Help is appreciated.

The Johnson flight tests, available from the Soaring magazine archives, have the information you need. Good Luck UH |

Paul at Cumulus Soaring has a polar page including LS3. http://www.cumulus-soaring.com/polars.htm Excellent resource. You can cross-check the LS3a polar to make sure it is close enough (it should be). |

I'm not sure if it is helpful, but the uploaded files collection of the LS gliders forum in Yahoo Groups (https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/LS-gliders/info) has copies of polar graphs from an LS-3 (not 3a) POH.
