I have no direct experience with EZ types, but any slick, relatively high efficiency tractor style a/c with f/p prop will go into neverland mode if idle prop rpm (on the ground) is above around 750-800. Anything above that, & it will effectively be making thrust instead of drag on final.

My Long-EZ glide ratio is 19:1 (or ...... it will be once it's done.)
