Yes, best glide varies as the square root of weight (if 10% below gross, reduce the gross weight speed by 5%). Also, in the real world, where one wants to cover distance over the ground, the wind matters. Into the wind, increase best glide speed; tailwind, decrease best glide speed.
I’m curious about the Max L/D speed for the RV-6 and can’t seem to find one. Anyone have it? Thanks!
Done lots of testing on my 6A over the years, 85 KTS for me with 3 blade IVO.
Prop stopped?
