I’m just thinking about that openly here so feel free to use this as a discussion point and work around it. But, The best glide speed is determined at the best l/d of the airfoil, which is at a specific to that airfoil angle of attack. It could be anywhere roughly around 2 to 5 degrees or more, again whatever the airfoil data lists. So if you can determine that angle of attack, and hold that angle of attack, with an idle engine, you should see that resulting speed…I think that should also be your best rate of climb speed, Vy.
