Yes, about 15:1 and Larry's works out to about 11.5:1. My plane is lighter
with longer wings. Makes sense to me.

Objet : Re: KR> Glide ratio
My best distance is about 2.5 NM/1000 ft at 60 kts, but my stall speed is
about 50 kts and I'm not sure could flare at 60 kts. with no power.
That's also my best endurance, about 2.5 minutes per 1000 ft. Data was
taken at about 3000 ft on close to a standard day with a weight of 880
lbs.
My plane is a KR-2 with a 3 blade (tapered) Warp Drive prop, pretty much
standard but does have the Diehl wings, tricycle gear without gear fairing
or pants.
Your results will surely vary.
