I've read a few times (though I can't quote sources unfortunately) that it was not unusual to be able to glide one mile per 1,000 feet of altitude with a dead engine. I seem to think this was for a Pup or something similar, which admittedly has a pretty light wing loading. My brain is not up to transferring this to kilometres per 1,000 meters.
