<DIV><BR></DIV>Has anyone done any testing using a altimeter of sorts such as
Eagletree's altimeter option to figure out exactly how high some of our
maneuvers end up? In using basic Trigonometry I can estimate that if a
plane is flown at 150 meters at a 60 degree angle then the plane should be
around 260m (around 800') high... do we fly higher than this? Obviously
the further out one flies then the higher one gets if at 60 degrees.
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Are there any true measurements that one could relay to me... or if someone
has an altimeter, could you test it out and let me know please? I'm
particularly interested in current sequences/maneuvers... especially F3A or
Masters. I don't think the lower classes get to an altitude that is of any
significance (generally speaking of course).</DIV>
