Gene: When looking at glide ratios I always look to an old Army aircraft I used to fly as a model. Anything better than the Grumman OV1 Mohawk and you're good to go. Jack Cooper may or may not have had the pleasure of flying these monsters as we retired most of the fleet after Vietnam. One engine out resulted in a controlled crash, both fail then standard operating procedure was push stick full forward, place head between legs and kiss your arse goodbye, then eject if you had the altitude. Flying brick. I'm in no way making light of the subject but when I see numbers like 10:1 and above I immediately think this thing is a glider. Doug Rupert
