Paul,
I've done some glide and sink speed testing but it was mid day when the
thermals were active. To do this well it must be during very calm air,
which I'll do at some time. I guess that regardless of what the factory
says, the empirical testing should give me what I want to know. What I
meant by Vy varying with weight was that when flying solo, the Vy would
be less than when flying at MTOW which is the flight weight at which
the V speeds are normally reported. Yes, the Vy and Vx are proportional
to the square root of the flying weight.

Allegro-ers,
After extensive searching, I found what I was looking for and have attached three
files (graphs). These are empirical results of actual wind tunnel studies of
the SM701 airfoil, which was originally designed for a high performance sailplane.
No wonder it is difficult to get the Allegro to come down without slowing
down to the mushing region!

I could not attach more than one file at a time for some reason I don't understand.
So here is a second file.
