I wouldn't count to much on these graphs I calculated. The just do
seat-rise related to turning angle. These graphs misleaded even me when
building the pythoon. The main problem with these graphs are that they
do NOT deal with forces. What would be useful is turning effort related
to turning angle for different geometries and weights. That way the
ideal geometry could be found.
(But all this has nothing to do with PSI).
