Grade: A-minus. Move to the front of the class.
So who would have the advatage - the guy coming in with excess speed or the guy coming in right at corner velocity? An oblique turn would shorten the horizontal turn radius, but the guy who came in with at corner speed would have an angular advantage? Or is it the opposite?
Nose low turns at high G reduce speed deceleration right?
