Question to Mxmanic

How tall is the wake?

The downwash is at least equal in height to the total wingspan of the
aircraft. Downwash is a large mass of air moving slowly. Still, you should
not be hitting your own wake in a 360-degree turn unless you are descending to
catch it. Oddly enough, if you are descending, the wake moves more slowly
(because you are generating less lift).

Priceless bucko!!!!!

It sounds to me like you are experiencing some serious wake tubulence in the
airspace between your ears.
