The only real test on glide ratios that I have done brings me to conclude
that my plane at 90 mph best glide (assumed) gives me about 2.5 miles for every
1000 feet of altitude lost. Im not sure of the actual ratio but I try to
fly a minimum of 5000 AGL when possible - usually higher - on lo
That's a glide ratio of just over 13 to 1, you must
have a very clean plane or you are producing some
thrust.
Is this with the engine stopped or with it set to some
idle rpm?
