For the Rv-6, the claimed glide ratio is 10:1, I can
verify that it is at least 9.8:1 - verified by a 12 mile glide - don't
ask.

Anything above that, & it will effectively be making thrust instead of

For the sake of comparison, what is the glide ratio of an RV?
My Long-EZ glide ratio is 19:1 (or ...... it will be once it's
done.) |
