I have a concern.
OK, I built the back side of the KM whiz wheel, and while fiddling with it I noticed a possible issue.
If you align the index on the small wheel (the red line) with 1 knot, it lands on 5400 meters.
The conversion from meters to knots is approximately .515, so unless my thinking is incorrect, it should land on 5150 meters.
When I checked the backside of my American whiz wheel, if you align the index on 1 knot you will hit just a hair over 5600, which is correct, the conversion from yards to knots is about .56.
I will say that there is a caveat: I haven't had the chance to try it in the game yet. I don't know if it will cause a miss.
One way to fix that problem would be to align the transparent pointer with the mark just past the "16 minute" mark on the inner wheel.
I'm going to try it as-is, and see if it works. If it does, no big deal. If not, I just taped that transparent arrow to the back of the inner wheel, so I can move it if necessary.
Again, Hitman, an EXCELLENT job. 'Tis a thing of beauty when built. I can't wait to build the other side!
