Wayne, what's it like to land an HP in a strong, gusty wind? Do you use
a higher approach speed and only partial flap?


Eric,

I am a low time glider pilot and I think more experienced pilots could
provide more insight then I; however, from my limited experience you are
right on target.

Several years ago I purchase a HP-16T (now owned by Brian Case). I search
the web for information and found almost nothing, so I started a web site to
act as a repository of information relating to Dick's designs. The site was
well receive by HP/RS/RHJ owner and article, pictures, etc started arriving.
The result is http://www.soaridaho.com/Schreder The information on the site
reflects the cooperation of HP enthusiasts, not my expertise.

Bob Kuykendall started a complementary service by forming the hp-gliders
news group. (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/hp-gliders). The combination of
the two resources have served Schreder sailplane design owners over the past
five+ years.

After I sold my HP-16T to Brian I purchase a HP-14 which I have been
restoring for the past 3 years.

Here are some relevant landing related articles that I have collected:
