I was reading the engine out advice and granted,,,practice help's ,,but we have to keep in mind,,the windmilling prop of an idling engine is going to decrease your glide ratio,,so for the stopped prop,,,you might overshoot your intended touchdown by quite a bit. In flying ultralight's and exp.

I did a flight test in my KR2S a few weeks ago to check the facts on windmilling props and glide ratio. Two tests from 10,000' (one with engine on, one with it off) proved to me that there is no appreciable difference in glide rate between engine idling and engine off. Engine off in a VW or Co

I know my VW stopped as well after quitting,,because of high compression and short prop,,,same as ultralight's,,two cycle engine's with reduction drive,,and low speed stop's the prop,,,I was implying practicing dead stick landing's with pulling throttle,,therefore, the prop is still spinning. J

Mark: That glide ratio informationis valuable to me and gixes me some idea as to what I can expect. It seems to me if my memory serves me right that the glide ratio is lower than the 172 or the early 150/160 hp 177s(Cardinals) and very much a "Brick" compared to the 150's. The 182s & up of cours

The site at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glide_ratio says the glide ratio of a Cessna 150 is about 7:1. It took about 15 seconds to type that into Google to find two sources that corroborate that. Mark Langford, Huntsville, Alabama see KR2S project N56ML at http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford emai

In my prior email I had the the following note in which I said 400' and that should have been 4000': NOTE: Any manoeuvres near the ground, especially tight turns, require good airspeed. What I did was a classic way to spin in as pilots will see the ground rushing up at them in the steep turn and

I have to agree with Mark L. We discussed this I believe a year ago and all agreed that the typical auto engine used in a plane has way more compression, and in our KR's a much smaller prop than our brother certified engines with big 70 inch props or so, and low compression. Auto engines that k
