HP-14 Glide Polar
Jay,
For the purpose of flight computer, etc I find the Standard Labelle to be very close. I plan to do formal flight test on my '14 next spring and will post the results on my bird's page (http://tinyurl.com/N990-6F) which is part of the Schreder Sailplane Designs website (http://www.soaridaho.com/Schreder) BTW, are you a member of the hp-gliders Yahoo news group?

Paul Bikle reported polar test results for his T-6, which was a slightly modified HP-14T (T-tail rather than V-tail) in the June 1970 issue of SOARING magazine ("Polars of Eight, page 16). The new SSA Archive has this issue available for viewing or download. Bob |

Here is the analysis of the Bikle airfoil. http://www.soaridaho.com/Schreder/Te...foil_Tests.pdf Wayne http://www.soaridaho.com/Schreder |

Opps, I misspoke. The "T-6" wings were shortened from 16.64 meters to 14.93 meters.
