What is the tightest radius that Atlas Code 100 flextrack can be bent to?

Tighter than what any HO equipment will be able to negociate... Much less than a 15" radius.

LOL Reminds me of a cartoon in Model railroader many years ago of a guy showing his friend how tight the flex track could be curved. Caption read "Just bend it to fit your curve" and the outside rail is shown snapped in two.
