Can anyone help with references for glide ratios for basic training

The internet is not very helpful for finding this information. A
reference of 29 to 1 for a K6 -no brake and 7.1 full brake is about all
I can find.

Given a Blanik at, say 28 to 1 no brake deployed, would around 8 to 1
full brake and say around 15 to one half brake sound about right?

I have say, it makes curious: for what purpose do you want the data?
