Maybe the high density altitude changed the picture somehow. I should have measured. Anyway, from your figures, that would give us a glide ratio of about 1. Not bad indeed.

That comes out to about 550 fpm . At 70 mph in smooth air with the engine at idle it feels like you're floating !! I was impressed for a 20 foot wing.
