hi!
Thanks for the reply. I deserved that, it was a stupidly worded question. I know that going by mv^2/r the radius should be the same but I assumed that because of the larger momentum it would take longer to enter a stabilised turn of constant radius, therefore effectively increasing the radius. A large radius is the only way I could explain why one method gives you 24 deg and one 14 deg!
Either the 1% rule or the the (gs/3)/dist is wrong but the 2nd one always worked. Which value is closer to the truth? 24 sounds a little large?
Anyway.....I guess ill wait to see what the next instructor tells me, no doubt he will have a new rule altogether!
Thanks
