On the other hand... when I was out in SD, I happened to be on the ramp when a renter returned with the Champ, and some others and I were a little surprised at how far he'd gone on that puny fuel tank. He grinned and said "well, I'm a glider pilot..." :D

Yeah -- several of the Aeronca guys claim to do power off (as in "Mags off") gliding.

That's fine if you have a starter. I don't, and according to folks that know, restart speed would exceed Vne. :eek:
