Wes, I'm still having trouble making sense of the numbers. My KR at approx 1075 pounds appears to have a best glide speed, from test flown, of about 75 mph indicated. If I read my notes correctly it was 12 degrees C and pressure of 29.99 inches. Does that sound about right. I figured a decent rate of 535 fpm. Not bad for an airplane with a 20 foot wingspan. 70 mph indicated was very close with 566 fpm or a 3 second difference in 500 feet of altitude. I'm not sure my flying was that percise and either of these figures would have a + or - error. My best rate of climb appears to be between 80 and 90 mph but it was hard to duplicate the numbers from one test to the next so I'm not sure how accurate they are. Larry Flesner
