Techniques and Tips : Tossing

I've been trimming my first boost glider and had a few questions I can't find answers for.

First here's my technique

Find a dry grassy field or yard and go to the highest part,
face the wind
hold the glider at chest level around its CG making sure it's level
then toss flat and even.

My question is what kind of performance should I expect?
The glider weighs 14g, is getting thrown roughly 5' above the ground, the yards flat, no decline, and lands 20' in front of me.
is that comparable to anything you guys have? Or is it falling faster?

Glide performance depends on more than just the weight of the model and the height you throw it at.

Can you post a picture of the glider, or, if a kit, the name of the kit?

here's a couple pictures, the wing spans 6.75"

And a link to the thread
and just to clarify, I meant performance when tossing, not at altitude

For that glider, 20 feet sounds about right for a test glide.

In reality, a test glide for a sport design glider like that is more of a stability check than a performance check.

Thanks tab28682, makes me less nervous to fly it with an audience haha
