It didn't much matter, probably about pattern altitude, as I enjoyed flying quietly. My airstrip is long, wide, and totally unused. I always fly every pattern at idle, because the only landing that I will ever have to get right will be dead stick...might as well practice for it. It is worth knowing that the glide goes down substantially when the prop stops turning, and as I mentioned, it is worse when the prop is horizontal. When the engine quits, I plan on making it to the fence with it vertical, then bumping the starter to save the prop on a bad landing. The nature of the field would determine whether to put the gear down or not.
