Formula for diameter of a circle

[[email protected]]

Can someone post the formula for determining the diameter of a circle flown at a specific speed and bank angle?

Thanks,

Brian

v=airspeed in feet per second
b=bank angle
r=radius of turn

r=(v^2)/32.2tan b

I'll help with the hard part:
diameter = 2 x radius ;-)

See ya, Dave
