Wil Schuemann achieved 50:1 with his modified ASW-12 (wings modified
and cut down to 15 m span). Very clear clean sink rate data on a very
good calm day with as little airmass movement as one could hope for.
This was in the early 80's with an aircraft that was old then.

I'd like to see that data. Is it available online?

Thanks, and best regards to all
