Polar numbers for Discus A
Casablanca is the best. A saying that keeps coming to mind as I do this is: Garbage in, garbage out. Another is measure with a micrometer and cut with an axe.
Who uses what polar?
From what I can tell xcsoar and seeyou are using the manufacturer and winpilot is using Carl Herold, which is closer to Johnson.
The book value at 100kts is 550 ft/min, Johnson shows 650. See my concern? I would like to bend xcsoar, seeyou and the cambridge away from the book values.
