Richard,
My aim is to get it flying and then address the issues one
by one. I do not think anybody has done comprehensive performance
measurements as a glider. The weight increase is my most important
issue.
Regards
Ian

Thanks - my reading of para71 of CS-22 is that the relevant sink
measurement is to be performed in 'power off' mode which I assume
provides for the prop to be feathered, if available as an option. That
means that there may well be scope to decrease drag, decrease sink rate
and achieve SLMG certification under CS-22. But from the LAA notes is
seems that you are happy not to add that complication to your
certification and happy to live with a "long wing" SEA classification.
My aim is to be able to maintain SLMG and SEA ratings on the same
aircraft, so I may have to be the first to cross that bridge once the
aircraft is complete, by demonstrating CS-22 compliance with a feathered
prop (if it is achievable)?

It is fitted with a feathering AirMaster prop but no gliding
