>Interestingly my 360 glides father with the prop windmilling than it does
with the prop stopped.  This is the first airplane that I have flown that
glides further with the prop windmilling.  Most airplanes have a
significant
increase in glide range with the prop stopped. My 2 blade Hartzell prop is
longer than most Lancair 360's at 72" diameter.<

Just curious, in what position did the
 prop stop?  I have the 68" Hartzell
and I found that the glide was
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?
