I would like to measure and compare the actual polar of my glider to
the factory polar. I would also like to compare the polar with 16.6 meter tips vs winglets. Are there practical methods for doing this with a flight logger and normal instruments? What airspeeds should be measured, and how many points on the curve are needed to get meaningful results? Any experience or suggestions for a procedure would be greatly appreciated. The glider is a Ventus C THanks, Matt Herron (Jr.) |
