The last two need a bit of programmer experience with the nav system,
but it sounds like you've got that.

Cheers,
ai_show_connect sounds helpful, will check that out tonight.
* It's hard to tell how far apart they are without anything to give
a sense of scale.
Ah, that would make sense.
* Are you sure you shouldn't be using ground nodes?
My NPC uses the helicopter flight model, so I am using air
nodes, hope this is correct.

Bad form to use a bullet list but I can't think of a better way.
* It's hard to tell how far apart they are without anything to give
a sense of scale.
* The fastest way to see if it's your code that is the problem is
loading the map in HL2 and spawning something.
* Use ai_show_connect to see the node graph. If it isn't joined up
the nodes are the problem, while if the links are there it's the
NPCs
* Are you sure you shouldn't be using ground nodes?
