I had read where SH is no longer publishing polars for it's gliders. Anyone know the true polars of the JS1-C, Quintus and/or Anteres 23. Has any club or organization started doing the glide test that Dick Johnson for so many years provided the gliding community. I have been away from gliding for a while, much has changed. I have much time in Nimbus 4, Nimbus 4D, Nimbus 3D. I assume the shorter wing birds could get much more out of the thermal, but I would think the long wing birds would be better at dolphin flying. Any comments. Would love to hear from pilots that have flown in or against the shorter wing open versus the longer wing opens.
