Title: Glide Ratios
Post by: Gjsteube on October 13, 2016, 07:16:11 PM

Just curious  as to what flying Double Eagles are finding for Glide Ratio numbers. Is there any chance in getting close to 8:1 or is 4-5, about the norm?

Mine was 4.2:1 with NO engine running
Not that i want to test that again, but now we working hard on drag reduction it does seam to be a bit better and 
should have better numbers soon.
