Glide speed in ft/sec = sqrt(loading in lbs/sq ft / (2/(CL*.00237))) For a typical HLG, CL when you're flying slowly might be about 0.9. For a 10 oz plane with 350 sq in area flying at CL = 0.9, glide speed turns out to be about 15 1/2 ft/sec. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
