Hi,
Below are the numbers I use with Glide Navigator II. They are not the same format as required by WinPilot but they may be helpful. They are conservative numbers, but don't come looking for me if you land out... The L/D is supposed to be more like 34:1. Puchacz Liters of Ballast: 0 Dry All-up Weight: 499 kg Max L/D: 30 Velocity of Best L/D: 85 kph Velocity @ 2 m/s Sink: 140 Paul Remde "Thomas Milko" wrote in message ...

Below are data for Puchacz in GPS_LOG WinCE format (available at
http://www.soaringpilotsoftware.com). Data pairs are speed [km/h] sink [m/s]. I am not the originator of the data, so do not ask me questions.

![]() Has anyone a good Puchacz Polar ? I need to generate a polar file to use in the Winpilot. ******* For the benefit of the archives and future perusers, I paste Stephane's reply here - it works as described (simply save the file in the folder used for synchronising files - often on your PC's desktop) and the numbers are easily adjusted if required, from inside Winpilot: jk ******* Try this: *Puchacz WinPilot POLAR file: MassDryGross[kg], MaxWaterBallast[liters], Speed1[km/h], Sink1[m/s], Speed2, Sink2, Speed3, Sink3 550,0,80,-0.72,120,-1.33,180,-3.75 Copy in a text editor (should be two lines, with hard return after "sink 3"), save as text file "puchacz.plr.txt", remove the ".txt" extension, upload in your PDA. As yet untried, but better than nothing. The data are taken from the performance table in the German flight manual. -- stephanevdv |
