Laister LP-49 TE and polar info
I have a Laister LP-49 and am looking for a polar graph for it. I
would also like to talk to anyone who has added a total energy probe to the vario on this glider. It has metal flight surfaces and a plastic body with solid bulkheads. Might be a trick to plumb the line from the vertical stab. |

Jim, Check here for an alternative TE solution sans the antenna part. http://www.soaridaho.com/Schreder/Co...E_ANTENNA.html Also consider, if all else fails, purchasing a Westerboer vario that has electronic total energy. They work well and there is at least one older VW920 for sale on Wings and Wheels. These also give you speed to fly and final glide info. Used, they are a great deal. Mike |

Hi Jim, I used to own LP-49 #7. I installed an ILEC fuselage TE probe a bit forward of the tail fin and it seemed to work just fine. I could not see an easy way to mount one on the fin. Tim |

Tim Oran Nicks published a series of articles in the Soaring Magazine in the late 70's? about TE probes a Google search or a check of the on- line version of old Soaring should have them. |
