Thanks WS.

For determining a climbing/descending turn radius for a given AoB, could one then simply utilize the basic level flight turn radius formula (R = v^2/11.26TanAoB), then muliply the level turn radius answer by the product of the angle of flight above/below the horizontal x sine, for the turn radius for the climbing/descending turn?
