Glide ratio: Zenith CH 750 Cruzer
Today I was out doing my 40hr phase flying and decided to do some idle power glide tests. Zenith recommends 60kts best glide speed. I tried 50kts, 55kts, 60kts and 65kts. The best ratio was at 60kts with a 9.3:1 ratio. This is line with most production planes such as Cessna 182 and Piper Cherokee.
Regards Bill

Helpful to know which model Zenith you are flying. I looked up your profile to find out. But I don't want to say and maybe not be correct.

No problem. Just looking out for the future. So anyone who later does a search has all the facts.
Thanks!
