so didyou when you did your "test flight?"

In the sim? No, there was no bump.

You won't encounter a bump from wake turbulence unless you are
doing a steep turn ( like 45 degree bank angle which should
take 19 seconds to go 360)

Why would the steepness of a turn matter?

A 2-G turn is rather close to the load limits for many types of aircraft.

The steepness matters for two reasons
1. the time of the turn matters to whether the wake turbulance is
dissipating
2. the bank angle changes the rate of descent of the wake
So if you are doing a standard rate turn that takes two minutes, you
will not hit youur wake. But if you do a 2g turn (around 45 degrees)
it should take 19 seconds and you will hit your wake.
3. a 2 g turn should not be close to the load limits of any airplane
certificated in the standard (let alone the utility) category. My
airplane ( a P337) is certificated as standard, not utility. the load
limits ar +3.8 flaps up. And is approved for turns up to 60 degrees.
