Default HP-14 Glide Polar

Opps, I misspoke. The "T-6" wings were shortened from 16.64 meters to 14.93 meters.

Does anyone know where I can find the polar for the HP-14?


Paul Bikle reported polar test results for his T-6, which was a
slightly modified HP-14T (T-tail rather than V-tail) in the June 1970
issue of SOARING magazine ("Polars of Eight, page 16).

The new SSA Archive has this issue available for viewing or download.

The article is also on the Schreder Designs website.

In addition to the "T" tail, Bikle made slight modifications to the HP-14 airfoil and extended the wing span of "T-6."

Here is the analysis of the Bikle airfoil.
