I really haven't nailed it down yet. Finding a smooth enough day is hard to
come by here. I do know that it is in the vicinity of 25. I have done several
scenarios of engine failure including all the way to a landing from over the
mountains and it does the trick for me -- it makes for a safe single engine
airplane. I have done a little bit of thermal soaring and have managed to stay
up
and climb, although I am not very experienced in gliders.
