Maximum deviation from horizontal before air lock?

[SimonG]

Thought this had been discussed on a previous thread?

For the experiment, I should add that as the circuit is at 1m head pressure, then the supply tank (simulating a circulator of 5m head) would have to be at 3-3.5m and the end of the pipe would have to go up from the ground to a 1m high outflow.

You've misunderstood the concept entirely !

Not a full deck. Must be some sort of engineer.

Sometimes things don't need over thinking.

A waste of time. The system will work anyhow, unless you create serious high spots, although even then it probably will work.
As I said earlier, have a sealed heating system installed if possible, so that air will generally not be a problem once it is removed on any fill up.
Then install all pipework to give consideration for where the air can escape to, so as to do a reasonable job. If hard copper pipework can be installed, then have it done. But plastic plumbing or soft microbore copper have worked for years and still will do the job.
By the time you waste thinking about it, asking questions and experimenting, - you could have the job done properly and with best materials and methods

I think the point has been made now.
