min sink is 46 and best L/D is 50 for same wing loading
"Ted Wagner" wrote in message news:XVtGb.13616$7D3.1148@fed1read02... I've heard the Genesis has a rather narrow speed band between stall and best L/D and the polar falls off rather quickly after that.. I haven't been able to locate a polar for the Genesis 2 on the 'Net, but looking at http://www.nwinternet.com/~blanikam/...is2-glider.htm, there seems to be a respectable difference between the stall speed (36 knots at 5.6 lbs/sq ft loading) and best L/D (43:1, 56 knots, 6 lbs/sq ft loading). Is that reasonable? -ted
