Another area that we should all characterize carefully is the best glide
stretching speed for your specific airplane. Did this early on in my test
.
.
about 95 MPH IAS, flaps neutral. Just another corner of the envelope that
should be explored to know your airplane.

Dan,

You were testing the speed of least sink not the best glide speed. I believe that the best glide speed is defined as the speed that you will go the farthest not sink the least.
