Someone earlier mentioned the 45 degree rule and thats what I work to. In a glider you can be a bit further out than that but too far and it feels most uncomfortable. O.K., the engine was never there but you would be surprised at how much height you can lose in an area of sinking air, not half as uncomfortable as you will be, two miles out at 650 ft. in a light a/c..
Lets have some input from those who have been there and done that. Have YOU ever had the donk stop on you and what was the result?
Anyone out there from Kidlington? Has it ever happened there?
