Yes, JP. After you log in, go to "News".....then, "Soaring Magazine online". On that page you'll see the link to the reports in the upper left--hand corner. If you are unable to log in, let us know which reports you're interested in and one of us will hopefully forward them on. Note that some of his findings differ significantly from the Idaflieg tests of the same models.. Not surprising as they use different tools for their measurements. Here's the list from SM:

Thank you Michael. Unfortunately I cannot see a link in the upper left of the Soaring Magazine page. I'm probably doing something wrong.
