Eights on Pylon...

if you are having problems with turns being to wide.. are flying them to
low? what is the entering altitude for your speed.

At that location I use 1,500 indicated which is about 1050' AGL, using
110mph^2 / 11.3. (The guy that figured that out truly IS a propellorhead.)
One problem is that the terrain is rolling hills and valleys so if I find
another point, I have to visually determine my height AGL -OR- check a good
topo map of the area in advance.

Got some encouraging advice here. Can't wait for the change to go fly and
try it out. (Actually, I can. The temps hit high 90s this weekend, which
roasts us webfooted Oregonians until we have a chance to get used to it.
That old bird is a sauna when it's that hot.)
