Default Dick Johnson methodology for measuring glider performance

Thank you for your reply. Fortunately couple of very helpful individuals supplied virtually all the info I needed and I was able to do my tests. Despite few individuals casting doubts on the methodology, I was able to get enough data points that allowed to get a line of best fit with all the points pretty much on that line. Also the sink rates at relevant speeds matched factory sink rates. An interesting exercise anyway.

Paul
