Polar curve
Entering a realistic polar curve of your wing allows C-Pilot EVO to perform precise calculations of
the speed-to-fly theory by McCready and arrival altitudes at turnpoints. From the “set up” menu,
open the “polar” page (Figure 43).
As a factory default, C-Pilot EVO will use a standard polar curve, which you can modify to match the
one of your wing. Inside polar menu you can choose between 3 standard polars (competition, sport
and standard) As a starting point, you can use a generic polar curve. You can find some in the
internet. After some flights, you can try refining it.

Entering a polar curve is rather simple. Select “new polar” from the “polar menu”. On the virtual
keyboard that will appear, type the name of the new polar and press “ok”
