So you think you have a low glide ratio!
I don't tan (skin cancer)
sine (don't know any deaf people) or cosine (got burned once by a "friend" on a loan). "Bruce Hoult" wrote in message ...

That's 3:1. 22 degrees is 2.5:1. To go from the angle to the glide ratio calculate 1/tan(angle). -- Bruce | 41.1670S | \ spoken | -+- Hoult | 174.8263E | /\ here. | ----------O----------
