1. Let's make a fancy computer software and calculate

What exactly would be crappy with the Idaflieg

measurements?

I have no other explanation to 304 vs. Mosquito handicaps. Do

you?

The Idaflieg measurements involve a massive effort (calibrated

sa=
ilplane, towing both sailplanes early morning high up multiple

times, lots

of customized measurement electronics and software)and are the

most
accurat=
e measurements of glider polars you will ever get.

What you then do with the results is another story (which neither

bothers

or interests me).


Trouble is sailplanes rarely compete in the smooth morning air!
