Default Ilec SN10 question

You didn't mention MacReady, wind, safety altitude and field altitude.

I've noticed on my SN10 that the final glide height
needed is excessive. I'm comparing it to GNII driven
by a 302A. The GN setup is faultless and the SN10 can
demand twice the height needed as calc by GNII.

When I flew on Saturday, the Ilec needed around 8000
ft and GN said 4500 feet, GN was correct. Roughly 45
K glide, Ventus C.

I remembered to set the wind on the Ilec, distances
looked right, winds on Ilec and GN agreed.

Any ideas ?
