Sorry, I made a mistake,
I contour plotted the beam bending moment in the last mail and wrote some nonsense to

I was actualyl joking, but now you come to mention it, it probably would

I know, so was I ;-) They did have some instrumentation though.

Very interesting, but from the photos there seems to be much more movement
than that. Are you sure you are scaled correctly? Also remember that
Orville claims the leading edges stayed parallel (although I suppose at 0.8mm
it'd be hard to tell).

The easy part is to edit the entry in

The hard part is to regenerate the scenery for that tile.
