Whichever chart you find...

Comparing to actual data is important as well...

Especially when glide rings are available on portable devices...

Good data in leads to good date out...

Somebody did some extensive glide studies in his plane around here one day... see if you can find that thread.

The effects of a stopped prop is amazing... the effects of a prop control pushed all the way in are equally amazing, but, in the opposite direction... :)

a good glide ratio is about 10:1... the best glide ratio may even be 12:1...? An extra two miles from being one mile up!

cleaned up, great WnB, prop pulled back, engine off, on speed for best glide adjusted for GW...

PP thoughts only not a CFI...

Best regards,

I agree going by the F model till you can verify on your own. But the most important factor will be if you still have the original 2 blade prop or not. The 3 blade props changes it substantially since they are a big air brake.
