I don't recall ever seeing an estimate of the performance loss in a
glider as a function of yaw string deflection. Does anyone know what it is? Ultimately, I'm wondering how much attention should be paid to deflections of, say, 1/8", 1/4", 1/2", etc., on the usual 4"-5" long yaw string. I suppose a professionally manufactured and tested yaw string, like the Mk IV, comes with a performance correction card (much like compass has), but I just have a blemished one I got an outlet store - no card. -- Eric Greenwell - Washington State, USA * Change "netto" to "net" to email me directly * "Transponders in Sailplanes" http://tinyurl.com/y739x4 * Sections on Mode S, TPAS, ADS-B, Flarm, more * "A Guide to Self-launching Sailplane Operation" at www.motorglider.org |
