Sorry for the late reply, just had the time to read it now. Many thanks to everyone that helped answering. Really nice to be able to exchange and increase my knowledge with all of you. It helped a lot, thanks again! The only reason I didn't tried to work with the Lift formula, is because I thought rho wouldn't be a constant. As you all stated before, S, CL and Rho are constants, but I thought since it was for a gliding flight, the air density wouldn't be constant. Perhaps someone could tell me why it applies? Thanks folks!
