^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This applies to the course change but not the thrust, hence the original
question. I agree that 2.5 & 2.5 is best, but if you are using cm the
"fudge factor" is fairly large. I just was curious how others handled
it.
Anyway, thanks for the comments!
