With WP_RADIUS = -1 we would calculate the optimum value given the distance to next waypoint. The optimum radius is half the distance to the following waypoint.

Research direction

Start by locating the ArduPlane waypoint-navigation code that handles WP_RADIUS and read how distances to the next and following waypoints are calculated. Confirm the behavior with existing navigation tests or flight-test procedures; done means WP_RADIUS = -1 selects a radius equal to half the distance to the following waypoint.
