With the light foam construction these fly very well but I would imagine if it were scale weight it would glide like a rock. The real one also has a huge prop for a brake when you throttle back. The scale ones windmill pretty freely.
The F-4 Phantom was the same way with the glide ratio. They just put two big engines on it. I can imagine the conversation: Hey, that F104 goes mach 2 with that engine, lets put 2 on our plane and have it go mach 2!
