Being a glider pilot, and a pessimist, I always land without power...going
to idle at 700 ', turning base and final by feel. I got pretty good at it
years ago. Now days I am finding it increasingly difficult to get stopped
in the 2600' available. Probably getting old and cautious, unwilling to
slow down enough on final. My brakes are poor but they always have been.
   As to glide performance with engine stopped, I played with that quite a
bit long ago and fought it to be good except when the prop was
horizontal...then it dropped considerably
