Did the same exercise with Doug Weeldryer.
Also note the nose pitch up attitude is about 5 degrees higher with coarse pitch
and wheels up at 110 kts. Also note the 500fpm @ 110 kts is a glide
ratio of about 22/1. At 700fpm the Glide ratio is 16/1. Try that in a spam
can or Witchita wagon. you get about 7/1. SSSSOOOOOO. if you are
7000 agl you can glide 10 minutes at 700fpm or about 13 miles. Not to
shabby.
