Does anyone have a rough estimate for the drag coefficient of a typical full size sailplane? I'm thinking around the 0.02 mark but that may be a little high? sheers guys

That's a typical Cd/Cl , not a drag coefficient.

I'm after 'zero lift drag coefficient' rather, i'm sure thats in the 0.02 range?
