Ok, I read the safety article and answered one of my own questions: 114kts indicated best glide speed.
2.6 miles per 1000 ft is a 15.6-1 glide ratio. Under factory demonstrated conditions. And from FL 200 in a zero wind condition only 52 miles.
All that aside it sounds like a great aircraft to crash in if necessary. I just wouldn't tout it's glide capabilities as safety point. It isn't any better than most other single engine GA aircraft.
