: Nick... most excellent book, again!
: Looking at the Petrel, what a fine looking craft. All that remains is some
: good offsets. I did a double-take just casually looking at the offsets and
: the DWL offsets are way off. Appears as if they were all multiplied by a
: factor of 2. Hmmmm.

Yea, a bit of a failure with the DWL offsets, they are off by a factor of two. Quite precise, but not very accurate. Divide by 2 and you are good.
