Couldn't a lot of this complexity be eliminated if we
scored to the best point for the pilot on the FRONT 180° of the
clyinder?
[or front 90°] This would better than the currrent optimal exit
point, and less complex than the rule being considered now.



Also with a 5 mile radius start clyinder the maximum distance gained
inside the start cylinder would be 10 miles. It would often be hard
to fly 10 miles upwind without decending back into the start cylinder.
