The Lancair IV glide ratio is much lower than the Columbia with flat pitch prop and the IV edges out the Columbia by quite a lot if you have a counter weighted or feathering prop, and just slightly with props in course position. (with IV being in clean configuration) The Columbia and ES are very close to the same in all configurations. I've been flying Lancairs for 12 years and currently own a Columbia400. These are just my observations.

 My next door hangar neighbor recently purchased a Columbia 400 and I'm wondering if you IV guys can make a comparison of its glide capabilities vs the IV. Angier Ames N4ZQ IN THE PAINT BOOTH...:-) -- For archives and unsub http://mail.lancaironline.net:81/lists/lml/List.html
