I'm fairly new to GA after a 19 year break flying jets. I routinely
fly a single engine experimental with a constant speed prop mounted on
a Lycoming IO-360.

2 QUESTIONS:

1. What's the proper setup to simulate the way the plane would glide
in case of an engine failure? I'm looking for pitch and possibly a
manifold pressure number here.

2. It that motor quits, will it still rotate through the flying
airspeed envelope or can I expect it to stop rotation (assuming it's
not frozen due to a mechanical failure)?

In idle, with the prop at flat pitch, it feels too draggy and comes
down like a rock. With it at high pitch, it seems to have too
optimistic a glide ratio. What's the happy medium?

I don't live near a dry lake bed or I'd just shut it down and find
out. I have the proper airspeeds for max range and min sink out of
the POH but it does not quote any type of glide ratio.
