Steady on people - a Lancair IV without power isn't going to remain flying unless you point it down, and hold some considerable airspeed. If it touched down nice & level, after a gear up and flap up approach - then I'd be thinking it might skid a fair way. Anyone who gets a Lancair IV safely in from an engine failure has done a good days work!

happy days,
