NO, the wingspan IS NOT part of the equation - it is pure

So you know enough to tell me that you didn\'t like my response,
but you still can\'t come up with the formulas that you claim
exist.

It seems odd that wing span doesn\'t come into turn radius. The
difference in air-speed from on end of the wing to the other does
depend on how far they are apart.
4:32 into the video, it explicitly says that wing length is a
factor. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhoOwKM7pOA

I don\'t know what unaccounted-for \"thing\" Flyspeck doesn\'t want to
reveal. Typically, you\'d want to add power in a tight turn, and
gliders don\'t have it to add.

Sorry, but your ignorance is showing. He was talking about the
difference in wing tip speeds, NOT the radius of the turn.. Pay
better attention next time. I will give you credit for actually
WATCHING the video, however, unlike Bozo.
He explained to you that \"as the circle becomes smaller, the difference
in the circumference each wing flies becomes larger.\" He drew a nice
picture of an airplane going around a large circle, then another with a
much smaller circle. Can you see where this is going? Watch it again.

Again, he is talking about difference in wing tip speeds. This has NOTHING to do with the actual turning radius.
Actually, it does, but Gnatguy is too far gone to realise this.

But he DOES give information on how to calculate the turning radius, if you PAY ATTENTION.

Gantguy doesn\'t understand what he sees - and posts links to - and think that everybody else is intellectually crippled in the same way that he is.

It would be funny if he didn\'t so viciously upset when people point out that he has got stuff wrong (as he frequently does).

Let\'s summarize; Bill thinks he knows MORE about flying gliders than I do based on:
1. He DOES NOT have a pilot\'s license, or even tried to get one.
2. I DO have a glider and powered pilot\'s license, and am current..
But clearly shouldn\'t be.
3. He has NO flight time WHATSOEVER.
Not strictly true.
4. I DO have FIVE THOUSAND HOURS of REAL flight time.
Before the senile dementia set in.
Now, WHO do you think knows what he is talking about?
Gnatguy delusions about him knowing what he is talking about get exhibited here at regular intervals.

The unbiased reader - anybody other that Gnatguy - knows that he is remarkably stupid, and hasn\'t got a clue what he is talking about.

I think I know more about flying gliders that he now does, because he clearly doesn\'t know much about anything any more. I don\'t know much, but I\'m not a demented idiot.

Hey NOBODY is paying ANY attention to you - don\'t you GET IT????

You are, for one. I could do with out that. I\'ve been posting here for some twenty years and get enough of the sorts of responses I value - not yours obviously - to keep on doing it. You don\'t seem to have clue about your abysmal ranking in the local pecking order. You are down there with a a and Skybuck Flying, and lower than Cursitor Doom.

The Bottom Line is that you don\'t know ANYTHING about flying. You can\'t even REMOTELY state how the turn radius of an airplane is calculated, let alone apply it to flying gliders.

And neither can you. Your \"bottom line\" is that you think that you do, but you do have persistent delusions of competence, and nothing that you post here supports any of them.

> BTW, HOW much flight time DO you have???

Why would I tell you?
