I was the someone, and it's pretty close.  I don't recall the exact
figures but the equation is d=0.5at^2 where d = whatever distance you
want a mu to be, a = whatever acceleration you care for, and t =
however long you feel the turn ought to be.
(Of course, at the end of the turn you've built up a velocity of *2*
mu/turn...but we all close our eyes and pretend iit doesn't exist).
