We can guess - or realize that every one of these planes flys differently with an engine out situation.
Put a pessimistic number in - then do not exceed that until you demonstrate it to be different. Actual testing is really the only way to get a "real" glide ratio for YOUR new plane.

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.
