<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I've done a lot of this using the Eagletree equipment,
pretty informative to apply the numbers to Aresti of the sequence. Some tall
maneuvers can easily exceed 900ft if flown out & large, generally even
those above the box limit are less than 1000ft. though.</FONT></DIV>

manuevers</DIV>
<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>
