Subject: Re: Kitfox II / Rotax 582 performance questions
From: "WurlyBird" <james.t.trizzino@us.army.mil>
That's almost 9:1 glide ratio, not too bad. Is that with the engine off or idling.
I found the KF3 would glide like a brick at idle but when the engine shut
off the glide seemed to improve drastically. But I was only 700' agl so I didn't
take any measurements.
