According to Grayhawk in the last issue of the LML, The LNC2's have a 7:1 glide ratio with the prop in cruise pitch and a 22:1 glide ratio with the prop in coarse pitch.

Shannon was said to be at 8,000 ft. This should give between (8,000 * 7 / 6,072 =) 9.2 NM and (8,000 * 22 / 6,072 =) 29.0 NM of range. The Madison airport was 10 miles away. What happened? Was the prop stuck in cruise pitch?

We need to know!
