One of the questions I always asked kit manufacturers was what the glide ratio was for their particular aircraft. Personally I like a nice glide ratio... most planes seemed to be 9 or 10 to 1, some higher, some lower with the SD-1 at 12:1. Does anyone else out there find the glide ratio as important as I do?
