glides further with the prop windmilling.  Most airplanes have a

longer than most Lancair 360's at 72" diameter.<

Just curious, in what position did the

better with the prop stopped.  =


My prop stopped at about a 45 degree
angle.

Do you recall what your tests indicated =

was the best glide speed at =

MGW? =
