Need some info on what the V speed consensus is for BC12D. Is best glide 50 mph or 60 mph? etc. Thanks

Re: BC12D V Seeds

Best Glide - in my experience is about 63 mph indicated. Keep in mind, the FAA test method for determining sink rate is at maximum weight and CG at the AFT limit. Sink rate increases significantly at 60 and below. This is for a stock BC12D - that number is a little lower for a BC-65 which is a bit lighter and has either 1100 or 1125 pound max weight.
