Hey I appreciate you taking the time to help me with this! It's kind of wierd how this all turned out - a thread here and there on whiz wheels and suddenly I find myself with 5 homemade wheels plus 2 wheels purchased from an antique store. It's all deeply fascinating to me being someone who grew up with digital calculators and computers.

Strange, isn't it? I almost don't care about SHIII anymore, I'm having too much fun with the wheels/slipsticks.

Something has to be wrong with your numbers then. Like I said, I drew it on paper.
Either the first range has to be 1430, or the second has to be about 2300 meters.
