    I would like to know what speedglider (real "save" speedglider, with a flat bottom surface) has the best glide.
    Today I flew my nano 14 (06), trimmed for best glide, and came about 3.6km. The height differences between the starting and landing area were about 1.2km. -->glide: 1:3.

    Along those lines, does anyone know where or how to find the glide ratios for different canopies with (for) a given wing loading? I've been looking around the net but haven't found anything.

    thanks
