I just got back from two week of doing Coast Guard checkrides in New England. I don't even want to guess what the glide ration would be on a two seater. Is it possible for it to be a negative number?....Seriously, a dead stick landing would be more like a helicopter autorotation!
I haven't messed to much with single engine work, but I can climb. I haven't measured it yet, but I don't think that it's very fast. My Lazair's performance numbers are similar to Tyler's:
Takeoff and climb at 30.
Power off stall at 25.
Cruise at 40.
Approach at 40.
The only difference is that I can definitely exceed VNE if I were to firewall the throttles in level flight.
I should have some new props to install next Monday....sweet.
