Slight correction in wording might be in order. This may be totally
obvious.

A Cyclinder is centered over the turn point. The Sector is beyond the
turn point (from the direction of the previous turn point). So
"flying past the cyclinder" will work if you go all the way around the
cyclinder. However, you only need to get into the Sector, not all the
way around the cyclinder.

To define the Sector, draw a line from turnpoint A to turnpoint B.
Draw another line from turnpoint B to turnpoint C. Draw another line
from turnpoint C back to turnpoint A. Make sure to draw the lines so
that they extend past the turnpoint. The tails of the lines that are
beyond the turnpoints define the sector which basically goes on
forever as a ever expanding pie wedge.

When going for a distance badge (versus a contest) there is no sense
going too far into the Sector as the distance measure is only to the
turn point, not beyond. In contests the extra distance can count for
something (depends) but not in badge flying.
