The problem with making too much of a 'crocodile' circuit (make it snappy) is that if you cock it up and go-round..........................far better to space it out a little and get it right first time. All these 'dramatists' quoting a 1:37 circuit !!TO STOPPING!!! need a chill pill - in my opinion, of course. Bear in mind that a 360 around the airfield at rate 1 takes 2 minutes, so what bank angle are we diddling with boys? Far more likely to cause a smoking hole than the UNLIKELY event of an uncontained fire causing UNLIKELY fatal structural damage.
