I just did a bunch of these with my recent BFR on the Arrow - like a

At best glide speed, the Arrow-- a clean airplane with the gear up--
has a very good glide ratio.

A friend of mine did all his training in Pipers. I took him up once in my Cessna
150 and he was amazed at the distance we could glide.

I can think of no reason a 150 would glide farther, from a given
altitude, than an Arrow.

Glide ratio is equal to lift divided by drag. Are you trying to say a
150 has a better L/D ratio than an Arrow? What evidence can you
offer?
